Not a surprise to me. Ever since they ordered 58 I struggled to think how they could fill that much more than anyone else. Even before the current climate.
|
even 20 A380's for Qantas seems a bit much to me.....
Wouldn't 777-300ER's have been a better choice for QF? |
I think quite simply the airlines didn't see the economy going south in the manner it has & they imagined everyone would be flying everywhere & that they would need the capacity. I bet Virgin Atlantic are glad they deferred their order!

So whats the point of your Q? |

Thanks for asking. I knew QF were using the 380 to LAX (but not LHR) which to me seemed they straying somewhat from the original restricted hub strategy to more a competitive startegy using the perceived pax space of the 380 to defend the lucrative Pacific route against V Australia. Nothing sinister. What days are they flying SYD-LHR? |

Is QF intending to use the A380 to SFO, LAX/JFK (QF107), FRA, JNB?
I agree that they make sense on London and Los Angeles routes, but I have no idea what sort of loads are usually seen on the other USA and German/South African flights. |
