You could spin it as fewer tons of CO2 per passenger mile, I suppose.
That's the same advantage busses have over cars.


I thought about that, but with SIA's A380 flying with *only* 471
seats, not many more than the 747-400, that argument kinda falls down.
Now, if they ever configure one of them with the 800 pax single-class
config. (cattle car) that'd make sense. : )


Only if the seats are always carrying a passenger.
