Martin,

hopefully they'll have a save first flight soon.



Official date is Friday.
Chances are they'll try to maintain it.

New Boeing 7E7 is more fuel efficient than the A380

With the high price of jet fuel and it going higher, I wonder if a big 4
engine gas guzzler like the 380 will be a big business mistake for Airbus?

Airbus goes big but fuel thirsty
Boeing goes for fuel efficiency and high tech

In the long run, Boeing may have chosen the right business path
Another big problem is the limited number of airports this behemoth can
fly into

The 7E7 can go just about anywhere

Sorry to spoil the party, but can you say "Airbus 350"?

Can you say "WTO lawsuit"? No subsidies, no A350

No 7x7 either.

Bull****, Boeing doesn't receive government subsidies... tax breaks don't
count and they are tiny compared to what Airbus gets...

Dean,

No subsidies, no A350


Boeing would be long dead without subsidies.

The A380 is not meant to go anywhere. Its prime route will be Europe to the
Emirates and Asia. The 7E7 is more of a low density traffic plane. I suspect
that the A380 will be delivering their vast numbers into airports where the
7E7 and the like can scurry around taking the passengers to their final
destinations.

Bit like Fed Ex really

Thought I read somewhere that Emirates Air already wants to rasie the
capacity of the A380...round about 800 pax, IIRC.
