These are some of the first 380s off the line. EKs new ones burn a lot less fuel than the old ones and are not restricted and carry a full load (ie max zero fuel weight) on the 15.30hr to 16hr sectors to LAX and IAH from DXB. Our old ones would struggle. Good on QF for doing it in theirs. Although the QF ones may be seat restricted it still carries more than a 777 or 744/8 on the same sector.
