Very few airlines need a long haul jet... the market is very small.

The A380 is a very good long distance jet but not many people fly 12 to 14 hours non stop to a destination.

That seems to be coming more common-—several family members have done it several times,and these were not business trips.

“Very few airlines need a long haul jet... the market is very small.”

I know little about airlines but remember an airline executive saying that a surefire way to ruin an airline is to buy planes that are too large.

I did it four times: to/from Taipei and to/from Seoul. Can’t say I liked it much. I’m glad I don’t smoke. I just had to tell myself, “This journey used to take weeks on a ship.” Glad I had a good book.
