The Dreamliner's range, internal goodies, passenger friendlieness, and airport readieness, appear to be just the thing that these State owned airlines and airports appear to be looking for.

Airbus designed A380 in the nineties during an era of relatively cheap fuel. Dreamliner is being ORDERED during an era when China's appetite for petrol is driving up prices all along the spectrum of fuels, including jet fuel mixtures.

I suspect Airbus has gambled poorly, and we are seeing the results.

Be Seeing You,
