Terrible news – condolences to all involved 🙁

Looking at the video it looks to me like he flew through the wake turbulence of the preceding aircraft which lead to fly control problems and the crash.

Would this be before or after he bored her to tears about scientology?

Years ago journalists had integrity. I guess leveson has proven it doesn’t exist any more.

Wouldn’t folding wings also add an extra maintenance expense/risk? after all, we are talking additional moving parts, fuel tanks in those parts (unless they are removed then you are back to a range issue).

I believe that there are a couple of gates at LHR which the A380 can’t use because they are too tight for it to turn around there.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see an A380’SP’ type of aircraft – high density but built for short routes. Reduce the amount of aircraft on those routes and you have more slots for the international routes.

Thats part of the problem isn’t it?

The cost to operate any airliner goes up as the passenger numbers and cargo goes down. Add an A380 into it and you’ve got landing fees, airport servicing fees and all sorts of things – a real loss maker for the airline.

I am sure an airline would rather be overbooked by one or two passengers per flight than being underbooked by 10s of passengers
