"Obviously, it can fly but there are so many problems with its size and weight that it will never be economical to fly commercially." The 380 was a big gamble. Personally, I think they missed the market trends. The hub and spoke approach that the airlines have been using is now the old way. It looks like airlines are going back to point to point, and that further reduces the market for the 380. But its not even about the gamble.......they are having all kinds of problems with the plane itself. I think it may be an issue regarding its ability to fly. The sucker is so big. Maybe it just doesn't work well.
