Boosting revenue and capacity: The A380 helps airports stay ahead 

+Andrew Anane We don't, the Russian Antonov 225 is the biggest

That Welsh Gamer i know right. but that plane is not active kinda yeah but it's still the biggest and Airbus has the biggest passenger plane. Cheers!!!

Andrew Anane Yeah, we have biggest passenger plane but not biggest plane

OK, so we come to a conclusion of Antonov AN-225 Mriya being the biggest plane on earth and the a380-800 the biggest passenger plane. I'm proud of Airbus.

Andrew Anane Ya... both were nearly surpassed by Sukhoi KR-860 remember

Your cute

+TranceElevation #GetALife

you're first if what???

Aka a330neo

+Ivan_Friends/IvanWorldLiner nope. The 330neo is just a modernization of the A330. I'm talking about a modernization of the A380 with a capacity of about 800-900 passengers.

+D4shEight a380 can take a max of 853.

+Ivan_Friends/IvanWorldLiner no shit, that's why I'm talking about an A380neo with an improved cabin, wings and engines to accommodate more passengers.

+D4shEight you do know Airbus is considering that with Emirates

+John Rooijakkers No it's not. They just have 319 orders. By 2020 they were projecting to have 1200. They can only bank on orders from Emirates but they will saturate as well. So good luck with that.

+shaddyhacker I am confident because it is the only solution for the future problems at the airports. The 747 took more than 20 years prior to the succes of the 744

+Rui Dias Oh they do! It's just costly

It's mainly due to the fact they need to use them on busy routes but it can affect the schedule for example tow flights to New York using two B777 one in the morning and one in the evening this will be better then one A380 flight and there is more choice for people

It's risky. A380 is only good financially speaking when about 80-90% full which majority of the current operator struggle to do like Malasia airline, Air france and thai airways. Also keep in mind that A380 lacks the cargo capacity to carry revenue cargo that is why Cathay Pacific passed on it.

+Rui Dias They can't roll em out of the factory like a 737 or a320

+Rui Dias Some Airports cannot handle them #1. #2 Most American companies do not even have Boeing 747 aircrafts, they do not even want to invest in 4 engine aircrafts. As someone said before they will most like get Boeing 777s and run them. I know for example when I work at JFK there are about 3-5 London flights in the evening with Boeing 777 instead of there being huge jumbo aircrafts instead. #3. The Airbus A380 is an aircraft that costs about $400 million USD which is really not that expensive (once you find a good investment) #4) There are not always going to be a full flight of 550 people every Airbus A380 flight while on a Boeing 777 you can guarantee sitting 250-300 passengers each flight will be much more profitable for them. #5) The A380 is the most advanced aircrafts, that uses complex computers, rollys royce engines that are 25 million each and a cockpit that is very complex to maintain. It needs updates always and it needs to be up to date. If you look this from a business standpoint, the amount of customers coming on, and the amount of fuel being burned with 4 engines instead of 2, even though the Airbus A380 is better it initially costs more money unless you can guarantee an investment back.

Get off the airbus channel then

+Jarkii Aviation no, I am an Airbus fan, but that 1 dislike is from Boeing, not me, I liked the vid. So..

Oh, missunderstanding

Boeing must have bad sportsmanship

Airbus will not axe the A380, now it has reached the break even..! And there's still a great market for it. And on top of it, it has been really successful for the market that it represents.
