If the capacity reduction was unavoidable (i.e. no extra airport slots), a 777X would have to be about 33% more efficient than an A380 to generate the same profit per flight as an A380
I very much advise you go over such numbers before you make a fool out of yourself


@comical don

Malaysia Airlines retired the last 777-200ER and ends the 777 operation after 19 years in service.
I guess looking at the age of the model in question and the years used, this argument is a little silly ……


@172

The points in favor of the 380 are the reduced noise level and the reduced cabin altitude.
on wiki: "One study of 8 flights in Airbus A380 aircraft found a median cabin pressure altitude of 6,128 feet (1,868 m), and 65 flights in Boeing 747-400 aircraft found a median cabin pressure altitude of 5,159 feet (1,572 m)."[11]

…. And the T7 is comparable to a 744 …… so be careful with such statements
although agree on the noise.
