Airbus is the future ✈️

They should also operate the 747

The Boeing debacle is quite revealing of the corporate rot (i.e. dividends over safety/profits over people) which has destroyed the Boeing brand. Any airline that cares for the safety of its passengers should buy Airbus airframes until this problem is solved by either a nationalization of Boeing of a sale to a more responsible owner.

B777 is indeed a beautiful airplane, but I wouldn't have any Boeing in my considerations for the time being.

Emirates is the airline who pushed Boeing to develop 777X in the first place. Maybe they should have ordered more A380s instead. They are doing pretty good with A380s. Or maybe they should have pushed Airbus for A350-2000 with GE engines.

Very Difficult to maintain a young fleet when airframers cant supply an airline what they require...

Boeing has faltered on manufacturing and certifying new jets amid oversight and close scrutiny from regulators. Therefore, it is understandable that such delivery delay would be met with sharp rebuke from a major client such as Emirates with over 100 777X in the order book.

While I do agree with emirates frustrations with the 777X, it’s better off to delay the aircraft entry into service, than having the aircraft rushed

this channel has no future

I think another reason why Delta has no plans on retiring the jet compared to United is maybe based on the engine type. The RB211 which was the most popular option for the 757 is a heavy fuel burner compared to the PW2000. The RB211 is also much older since it was used since 1969, compared to the PW being introduced in 1981. According to Pratts website their engine is 6% more efficient which barely seems like anything but it’s a bigger topic today. The PW has the fuel burn ratio around the same as the CFM56 so it’s technically still not an intense fuel burner.

Lost of experience Pilots and mass recruitment of Trainees ! 20 % pay increase of 20 top executives and cuts on staff despite reporting massive losses ! Do you feel confident flying Cathay anymore ?😱

Delta’s A320s are old because they never ordered them. They are all former NWA a320s

I'd do it, because you have to do it anyway, even if you have a stopover. Get it over and done with.

Thanks Dj!!

😱💩 Don't give up your day job ... lacking any real information 😫🤔

Emirates and Global are going against the grain lol

It begs the q, A350-2000?

Why not upgrade to more efficient engines

A380's 4ever!❤😊

Etihad is keeping their A380s until the 2030s!!!

How many times are going rehash this story. Get some new material.

New composite folding wings, new engines, airspace cabin, two variants.

I was subscribed.. u tube removed that.. not the first time..

the 777x, when it finally comes into service, will have almost enough capacity as the a380. the a350-1000 is the next step down in terms of passenger capacity, but is far more efficient.

long term. i love A380 as my plane for travel

Sad

All right guys here's my thoughts on this video I love the 380 it's a good plane but I think Airbus has no intention of making the Airbus A380 Neo which Tim Clark from Emirates wants but I have an alternative that's going to make all airlines by the plane and of course Airbus will make it since they're already making this plane as we speak the plane I mentioned is the Airbus a350 series and what if Airbus were to make the Airbus a350 2000 which would allow for more than 600 passengers foldable wing tips add the same comfort that the Airbus A380 had for example is Etihad airways wants to put the residents class they have on their plane it would be a very very optional and good attractive point because the Airbus a350 - 2000 can obviously allow them to put the residents and they can have the same configuration as they have on their Airbus A380 if Emirates airlines wants to put showers on their a380s it can be done right well it can also be done on Airbus a350 -2000 which I think is a very good plane and it won't take up much space like the Airbus A380 and it won't need humongous renovations plus it uses the same runway as the Airbus a350 - 1,000 so that's my take on the replacement for the Airbus A380 the Airbus a350 - 2000 will be the perfect plane for all the airlines and it will solve the capacity problem that they need without breaking the bank and without worrying about can I fill these seats so let me hear your thoughts should Airbus come out with an a350 - 2000 or is it not needed let me know your thoughts keep up the good work

FAKE NEWS, AS ALWAYS

I HATE margarita8442

wish this channel would say farewell

Rip its sad

Amazing airplane, low noise levels and no locks in ear when in high altitude. Went on it from Copenhagen to Cyprus.

The 767 is like old Benz.

Their biggest rival is Emirates followed by Qatar , Etihad and Turkish New Delhi is more centrally located then either of the other hubs in the Middle East Air India should take advantage of of that and be the bridge between Europe US and the Asia .

The tail colors should have been the colors of the Indian flag This livery is more like a budget airlines like Eurowings and Discover and Ryan Air

I think that Global Airlines believes that passengers traveling on a low cost airline will prefer the comfort of an A380 over most of the other types operating the route. This is especially true because customers who fly on low cost airlines have probably never experienced an A380, and this can lead to great word of mouth and repeat customers. With the media hype around the airline, mostly by the airline itself, I think it's a tactic to buy more time to ensure that the launch is flawless. I believe that the airline may enjoy initial success, but on paper it's hard to see how it will be sustainable long-term.

How much will it cost to fly NY to Sydney?? Shoot if I need to ask, I can’t afford it. It’s ok. Need a stopover anyways. 19-20 hrs not for me. Big woop for Airbus and its selling of 4-6 planes. Airbus will make a killing, not!!!

A350 best choice

You're missing out the most important two points. The problem with the A340 wasn't the number of engines. It was the number of tonnes. Compare the empty weight of an A340-500 to that of a 777-200LR. They carry roughly the same number of passengers over roughly the same range, and the a340 is roughly 20% heavier. That's fatal to the economics of the aircraft. This isn't because it's quad-engined, in fact a quad should be slightly lighter than a twin with the same payload and range (other things being equal) because the weight of the engines is distributed more evenly along the wing span. Secondly, the fuel consumption of the engines. In order to get subsidised loans from the UK government to develop the aircraft, Airbus had to offer Rolls Royce an exclusive deal to make the engines. So, Rolls was allowed to make engines that were far less efficient than those offered on the 777 because, on the 777, they had to compete on equal terms with GE and P&W for the business. Their A340 engine enjoyed a monopoly so they didn't have to squeeze every last ounce of fuel efficiency out of it. As Sir Tim Clarke said, once fuel topped $125 per barrel the A340 "hadn't a hope."

I flew on a few Lufthansa A-340s. Nice interiors, despite the bizarre lower deck lavs. But it felt like it couldn’t climb, especially compared to a 777 or 330.

Thanks for this Dj!!

The A340 is very elegant and aesthetically pleasing. It "looks" like classic international air travel. I flew round trip between MIA and CDG on Air France A340s, and from BKK to JFK on a Thai A340-500 (at the time it was the second longest flight in the world). All were smooth, quiet, and comfortable. I also flew from MAD to JFK on a jam-packed Iberia A340 after my American Airlines flight was canceled due to a blizzard. A truly terrific plane that arrived on the market at the wrong time.

The new USAF Doomsday planes will have to use secondhand B747-8. I think there is a small section of the market that needs quad jets. Military plus long overwater routes, noe you can no longer overfly Siberia , Ukraine or Iran. I think a A340-200/300NEO with leap 1 engines. The A340 is closely related to the A330 & that is still in production.

At the end of the day, the A330 & A340 are just different versions of the same aircraft. A330 MRTT even uses the mounting points of the outside engines for fuel hose mountings. A330/340 program overall has been very successful

Thanks for the history lesson...not news

4 engines mounted on the wing really undermine the aerodynamic as well as the thrust of the a340. This jet is the most underpowered and least efficient amongst Airbus wide-bodies and as it turned out, it was outsold by the B777- a state-of-the-art rival in the early 2000s.

I flew this aircraft a few times with Lufthansa and SWISS, and I can sit comfortably due to its 2-4-2 configuration in Economy Class, the same as the Airbus A330.

A340-600 Is One My Favoritt.Great Video And Info

What really killed the A340 was the massive success of the 777. The 777-200ER had the same range as the A340-300, and the 777-300ER had the same range as the A340-600. And the 777 used significantly less fuel per passenger. Small wonder why Emirates has such a gigantic 777-300ER fleet. So much so that Airbus admitted defeat and developed the A350XWB to better compete against the 777.
