Emirates Goes ALL IN On Airbus A380, Here’s Why

Thanks for watching the first video on Aviaat. The only channel bringing consistent quality to Aircraft TH-cam.
While most airlines are retiring the Airbus A380, Emirates is doubling down on its superjumbo fleet. With nearly 90 A380s, Emirates is investing $2 billion to upgrade and retrofit their planes, ensuring they fly well into the 2030s. Discover why Emirates is so committed to the A380, how it fits their unique hub-and-spoke model, and what this bold move means for the future of air travel. Dive into the fascinating world of aviation with our in-depth analysis!

The hub and spoke model isn't dead, it's just not the only game in town anymore. If you have a high demand city pair at a long range the A380 makes money. As proven by Emirates. One A380 is cheaper to operate than two planes, and passengers prefer that plane over the others anyway.

Given the choice between flying on the A380 and some spam in the can LR narrow body, I know which one I'd be choosing. And there's no difference in the ticket price either.

I had flown on the a380 it was amazing

Saying that many airlines are moving away from the a380 is reporting on extremely old news....the fact is that airlines ditching the type have done so between 2019 and 2021/22....since COVID travel restrictions started easing, any airline still owning a380 found itself not only reviving it but relying on it for many high density flights to/from major, particularly heavily congested, hubs...
So much so that Airbus had completely binned any plans for a neo version or a new superjumbo plane, but it has now returned with a far more ambiguous "we never say never"....

I think Emirates doesn't want to retire all of the AIRBUS A380 because, AIRBUS A380 it's still genius until now.

Airbus is making a new variant of a380 called 0e which removes ALL emissions. It uses liquid nitrogen.

Hydrogen* not LN2 XD

[@toukoholopainen1039]

And airbus is not making a new variant of a380, the a380 is just a testbed for the Hydrogen engine and tanks etc.

[@Turbofanstudiosunofficial]

its unbelievable how Emirates wants to keep 69 a380s running until at least 2030 considering that they just ordered a bunch of modern fuel efficient a350s at the last Dubai Airshow.

[@karlp8484]

It's not unbelievable, it's essential. Boeing seriously fck'd up production of the 777-9, it's 6 years late. And the A350 is so heavily in demand they will take years too.
