RE: Boeing 737 – Is it time to move on?
The number of passengers will indeed, increase, but for this A380, everything has to change – new runways have to be contructed to cope with the aircraft as some will not be long enough for the aircraft. Also, what is the wingspan of this aircraft? Some airports may even need larger gates for the aircraft to park(??)
There is already to much air traffic in the sky anyway, so introducing another huge aircraft into the London Skies is not really going to help – it may in other areas of the world!
