Malaysia Rethinking the A380

Malaysia probably does need to work through the numbers again...

<<Recent reports on launch customer Singapore Airlines' inability to fully maximise the yields on its A380 were also said to have given MAS cold feet in proceeding with the purchase.>>

Would not be surprised to see A330s & A350s instead.

Can't help but wonder if they would have been tempted at this point by the 747-8i (and more 777s) were it not tied to Airbus replacements due to the A380 order.

Current A380's are not much bigger than 747s, if Malaysia use 747s then in the long run having A380s or 747-8 would make sense.
