I read a couple of years ago that the ‘380 needed to fly near-capacity if it was to make money — many times it didn’t. Four engines ate up fuel and all the other costs associated with the bigger size were just too much. Boeing’s 777 was a better investment for the airlines.

the EU is desperate for money, what with all the new immogrent dependents they've adopted. so if the 380 was makin' money, they sure as heck wouldn't ditch it!

Actually it’s quite efficient, like two 777’s strapped together.
