Which is better Airbus A380 or Boeing 747?

Boeing claims that the 747-8 is more cost-effective per seat per mile than any other aircraft. However, Airbus claims that the A380 is the most efficient jet in the world. It does not make much sense to compare the two jets in fuel burn and seat-mile cost. The planes are considerably different in size.

Do Boeing still make 747?

Boeing’s most iconic aircraft — the 747 — is celebrating 51 years of passenger service in January. Most of the world’s airlines, however, are retiring their 747s in favor of new, fuel-efficient jets. The final models will be delivered to cargo giant Atlas Air in 2022, marking the end of the program.

Where does Canada export aircraft?

The aerospace industry is more export intensive in Canada than in other countries, with more than 80 per cent of its production exported. About 56 per cent of Canada’s aerospace exports are to the United States.

Why doesn’t Air Canada fly the Airbus A380?

Simply put, Air Canada doesn’t have any routes that would consistently fill a jumbo aircraft to the point that it would be profitable for the company. This is especially the problem with the a380 because a very high percentage of the aircraft would have to be filled before the cost of fuel was outweighed.

How many planes does Air Canada have in Canada?

Operated by Air Canada Number of aircraft 19 Boeing 777-200LR (77L) Operated by Air Canada Number of aircraft 6 Airbus A330-300 (333)

What happened to the A380 order for Boeing 747?

A380 orders were not even remotely close to B747 orders. Basically East Asia went through an airport building boom, and they no longer were as reliant on limited runs with very large aircraft. The B747 never really sold in large numbers in the western Hemisphere outside of PanAm and United Airlines.

Is a Boeing 747-8I practical to fly to Canada?

B-747–8i is not practical if not flown to near maximum capacity 16 hours a day for current demand in Canada. Some international airlines do fly B-747–400’s, 8i and 400 Combi’s to Canada. When combined with Canadian based airline capacity of seats on the same routes, does not warrant the purchase.
