The president of Emirates says passengers will never again be as comfortable as they have been aboard the enormous discontinued Airbus A380
Emirates, the glitzy Persian Gulf airline, plans to operate passenger flights using Airbus A380s for the first time since the pandemic led the airline to ground the fleet. The airline expects to replace the aging A380 fleet with Boeing 777X aircraft, the first of which is due to be delivered in 2022. However, Tim Clark, the airline's president, told Business Insider that nothing would measure up to the passenger experience on board the A380. As airlines around the world ground their Airbus… (www.yahoo.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Unless you shell out the big bucks it's been nothing but basic transport for a long time. And that's probably how it should be. Free market. The only thing making it worse is regulations that hold back true competition (us) resulting in these mergers and monopolies.
Yes...very sad
I am so happy that I had several opportunities on Emirates and Lufthansa to fly as a passenger with this legend. It is a fantastic airplane and proably very best airplane ever. The last time was just on 15th March 2020 with Emirates on propably one of the last scheduled flights out of Dubai to Frankfurt. In terms of passenger experience in ecconomy class there is a huge gap between A380 and anything else.
I can't understand why all of them should be scrapped as I personally would pay more (I already did in the past) if I had the choice between A380 and any other airplane.
If I could have a wish - please don't let them die.

Fully agree, 747 is great but for the passenger the A380 will be the most comfortable airplane ever built! Hope to catch another in Emirates before the sad day comes :(
true dat
The A380 was the most comfortable plane I’ve even flown in, so quiet and smooth, in spite of the antiquated interior BA equipped them with. That said, transatlantic on a Norwegian 787 wasn’t exactly slumming it and I’m curious as to what the 777x is going to be like. The 777 is a nice stable, fairly quiet plane (except BA!) so we will see.
I do lament the passing of the A380 and 747 though. As a passenger it did feel different getting on those planes.
