It's seat cents/ Kms figures are good IF you can fill it.. That's the big "IF". Emirates were in some difficulties anyhow, before the virus. Aviation is big dollars, high cashflows, low margins stuff, shaky investments. Nev

Buggy. I may never get to fly in this smooth, quiet Goliath.

Amaing A/C but sadly we live in a fast changing world travel goobe. Efficiency is the name of the game these days, hard to beat the A350 -1000!

The new generation A350 & B787 are more efficient but the 380 is also pretty good. The problem is it is so big it is hard to fill even on very popular routes & if it is only half full there is no profit at all. I've never flown on one but everyone I have spoken to who has raved about it.

They are great to fly in, very quiet/comfy, wish I could have driven one though?
