The only reason Airbus is continuing is because of the large order from Emirates, and who knows what they hell they think they can do with over 100 A380s and 50+ more on order.
- InTheArena 8y agoEK is still pushing on the global hub concept. They recently have been talking to Denver about a non-stop ther, but I don't see how you do that when there are already 7 non-stops to Europe (two Norwegian, one united, One Edelweiss, two Lufthansa, one Iceland Air) and one non-stop to Asia, plus connections on both sides of the country. That's route fragmentation at work.
- patrickg_zill 8y agoDenver+Boulder+Colorado Springs area is growing by quite a bit, however. Since 2010 (to 2017) Colorado's population increased by more than 500K people. And, since they all come from "somewhere else" that means that likelihood of them needing flights is possibly higher also.
- sitepodmatt 8y agoI think its 20 on the way with some more options. regardless of the economics the a380 is best in class in economy for Joe public since the densification program of the 777 started some years ago - Qatar used to be great in 9 across - 10 sucks, and the change to 3/3/3 on 787 vs initial guidelines of 2/4/2 which only JAL stuck to. Unless invested, or a 26" waist, or flying biz, one should be wishing a future success of a380. Economy sucks but a380 makes it bearable
