Technical Compare of Boeing 747 vs Airbus A380
This, Airbus insists, will change forever the market for long-haul flights.
But even if the aerospace giant is right in its assertion that tomorrow’s long distance air travel will be from hub to hub - or large airports that can cope with the A380’s size, as opposed to direct long-haul flights between smaller airports - there are no guarantees that it will be able to recoup the $12bn invested in the aircraft.
Similar financial concerns could play on the mind of airlines which have ordered the aircraft.
There are real concerns that rather than being a giant luxury transporter that brings greater comforts to customers, the A380 might be used as a ‘cattle-class’ transporter for the masses by airlines struggling to recoup their costs.
