You also have to modify the terminal 9and possibly the runways) to handle the plane: not a big selling point.

I've long suspected that this A380 will turn into another Concorde-- I think the current purchases have already glutted the market.

For certain markets and routes, I'm sure the A-380 will make sense economically. But it will definitely be a niche aircraft.

While I'm intrigued by the concept and the advance, I wouldn't want to fly in it.
