Goodbye A380

Classic case of the Airline industry dictating to passengers - building huge planes to fly hub to hub but passengers didn’t want that - they want to fly from their regional airport to their final destination. Airlines now having to buy smaller aircraft to serve more routes and do what the passenger wants. Airlines like BA being outflanked having everything in Heathrow - people want to go to Zurich, New York or Frankfurt etc from Manchester or Edinburgh.

Good points.....Its also down to fuel efficiency.
The Boeing 787 twin engine Dreamliner can now fly from Oz to London without stopping, which seemed impossible 10 or 15 years ago.
Advances in engine technology and composite materials (its mainly a plastic plane) have enabled this.
 
When I first saw this thread I thought they’d closed the road from Devizes to Salisbury. Sorry. On with aeronautical discussion.
 
A two seater configuration in the upstairs economy so you don't have to make polite conversation on long point to pointers.
