Problem with the A380 its burning between 13-13.5 kgs/hr flys at 0.84 the only appeal is noise for pax..it carries next to no freight and on ultra long haul has between 100-150 seats lockout for weight saving to allow additional fuel. The A380 is 10 years too late, the B747-400 and B747-800 coupled with the B777 new gen will see the death of the A380..Singapore Airlines is returning the first 4 A380, Emirates also is returning the early aircraft, Malaysia Airlines has the 6 aircraft up for sale. The B747-800 is limited to freight operation with so many B747-400 freighters coming up to the end of their useful life..the reality is that the A380 isnt a hub buster but an Operational and Engineering Nightmare, inefficient and a black hole in costs....keeping up with the "Jones" has burnt many airlines...The smart Airlines have avoided the A380...once you have A380 your stuck with it...
