travel.timesonline.co.uk— For Stephen Bleach, being a part of the inaugural A380 flight on Thursday was revolutionary... but not for all the right reasons

Almost every airline that had an order in for the A380 canceled it and bought 787s. I worked on the plane for a year and saw the buyers slowly withdraw their orders. It happened every time Airbus announced another delay. I would advise everyone to fly Boeing.
Depends on load factors. If the A380s aren't flying full, then the per-passenger fuel usage equation changes. Airlines are buying the 787 because they don't think they can fill A380s.
