What you wanna stretch the fuselage another 20 feet? And what kind of route would make that monster necessary?

I'd stretch it more if I could

OK, pardon my 'tism, but was looking at the airframe counts on wikipedia, and of the 251 supposedly delivered, the current and past operator counts only add up to 221.
Did some of these go to military use, or get shipped to mars or something?
Also wondering what the former operators do with the airframes, seems like a pretty big asset to just dispose of..

i think some of them were scrapped during COVID
speaking of which.. airplanes have more and more composite frame parts every new generation, so less and less is recoverable for new frames

Yeah I included those in the count though, the airlines that got out of those during covid at least. Still seems like a hell of an asset to just scrap, but I suppose they could have become parts planes with the production line now shut down

Thirsty + Mechanically Complicated is a bad combo. Add to that COVID making the airline industry thinking it's over for good and the second deck of the A380 being too fragile for cargo = they couldn't live second lives as freighters like their 747-400 analogues

source?

if the upper deck carries up to 300 passengers (a third of them right in the middle of the deck) then it should carry some 25 tons better distributed and palletized

It's a pity these didn't work out, I thought they were a good idea for increasingly overcrowded airports and airways.

Lufthansa, BA, Singapore, Korean, Qatar, Etihad, etc. Just to name a few. Also there's a British startup carrier called Global Airlines, they plan to start operating an A380-only fleet next year.

Lufthansa alone can check these off so it's far from being too late just yet

that's not a comeback, they're just trading existing planes after they depreciated below 80 million dollars
