Jump to postI think what the posters keep missing about ULCCs is that their cost advantage is reduced on long haul routes. Fuel becomes the highest expense not labour. Also aircraft utilization gives ULCCs no cost advantage either. Even a 220 seat A321 won’t have much CASM advantage if any over a 300 seat 789 o...

Jump to postI don’t agree the 330 pushed it out of passenger service. First of all it’s still in passsenger service. Age more than anything has reduced its numbers in passenger service. It’s also being used as a freighter quite extensively so it certainly hasn’t fallen flat.

Jump to postBig difference - 1988 technology is still state-of-the-art in 2019 for civilian jetliners. Everyone is missing the point.
