This.
To be fair, Airbus actually owned the big twin market until the 767 and 757 came out. Then those planes (as well as Airbus's own planes) fragmented transatlantic flying. Then they lost their way when they focused on the A380 - but the engines that enabled the 787 were not yet out.
- mthomasb 9y agoThis is a great video on the economics of the hub and spoke vs. direct model embodied by the A380 vs 787: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlIdzF1_b5M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlIdzF1_b5M That channel also has alot of very interesting content on the economics of air travel (e.g., seating classes, how tickets are priced, etc).
