Totally agree.

Who's ordering a '380 next?

Surely, in order for an airline to have a want for an aircraft of that size, there has to be an identifiable need . The impact of a new aircraft on a high density route would therefore reduce costs (among other factors) and increase effeciency of the airline. Once the needs and wants have been set, ...

Can't beat a classic...

V interesting reading people , I still prefer the 747 any day of the week, a true classic. It's held it's ground (or air) over the years and let's face it, without it I don't think Airbus would have tried going one better anyway! That said - it's looking a bit like the mobile phone market in the UK...

7E7 Dreamliner

I can't wait to see how both "products" end up being used... on the one hand we have Virgin and Emirates arguing over who will have more seats/space in their A380's - on the other, which airline will be the first to announce the 7E7 as the "first business class only flights"? Wit...

I think it's a good thing that both companies have their own direction of future market share, at least this way we can see which models are more popular with which airlines (some airlines may want 7E7 and an A380...). Segmenting the market like this in 2005 could produce gaps where airlines may wis...

Aren't low cost (budget) carriers interested in this type of plane too?? I'd have thought that this would appeal to the business traveller as trends show they are more willing to cut flying costs given today's UK business trends.
