Welcome to the Middle East.
I quite like the A380. Even if it does look like it has Down's Syndrome.
It's perfect for some out our routes (London etc). However I do think it's the wrong aircraft for ULR, and I do think EK have way way too many on order. In fact it is the crazy order book, not the aircraft that most take issue with.
Most tractor drivers are not anti-a380. It's just a machine. A fleet of about 50 would be perfect for EK.
Btw it doesn't take an MA from Harvard to see we have way too many B777s also, and that a mid-sized aircraft is desperately needed.
But how to do without loss of face???
Oh well, at least "we just do it better"..
