  • The downfall of super jumbos

    Just like the downfall of Concorde felt like a step back, I'm saddened by the fact that super jumbos has become unpopular and deemed not costworthy by most airlines. I came across this article and couldn't get my head around the following:

    "If we were to fly two 787s tail-to-tail, the per-seat cost would be less than the A380," the CEO of Qantas, Alan Joyce, told Business Insider in an interview. (Qantas' 787 Dreamliner has 236 seats, while its A380 has 486.)

    I'm curious to how this can be so.
