A380 not profitable

[Reyes25]

I ordered 30 A380-800 and when i started routes its not profitable, cant be possible.

What you expected ? Too much seats, you must charge very low fare and high turntime that makes this aircraft totaly unprofitable.  The only a/c that is working is B767 all above this is unprofitable due high mx costs.

For long haul flights you should use aircraft with around 300 seats for best profit. The maintenance costs for the A380 are very big, so watch out!

Interesting, I used to make a killing with them last time I used them.

It is a niche product, you can probably get a lot of profit from it on a select few routes when there is no competition, but in most cases it is too big for the task.
