Interesting:
Two conclusions here:
1) MUC is the weakest A380 route for EK
2) MUC - JFK could take the A380 from time to time, meaning it is the strongest or one of the strongest interconti routes out of MUC. Or am I missing something here? Sure this is promotion but those "MUC-NYC" A380 flights are a big money loser?
I'd love to see the 747-8 in MUC.... At some point, LH has to figure out anyway what to do with intercontinental routes out of MUC which are too strong for only one A346 a day...
How long will the wing crack effect LH? I mean with only 8 A380s around, it can't take too long, can it?
