Yes I hope so but I am not hopeful. The decision to reintroduce will be based on profitability not nostalgia. The long range four engined plane is virtually a thing of the past (the airlines that still have them can’t underwite the replacement CAPEX to upgrade in better times - my mind turns to the 340-600 SAA birds for some reason ........


Our recovery from the current and future economic circumstances will drive the decision on metal. Pent up demand swung back in a V will be the best circumstances to justify reintroduction of the 380. The reality of that happening is probably not (even theoretically) high, and if you talk to my banking connections even lower.


There are no prohibitions on dreams.
