I thought that A350 will (also) be the plane for such routes. Currently, the longest flight is done by an A380 (DXB-AKL) at a cost of 100 unbookable seats (otherwise it won't make the 14000km to AKL), but mostly it is a B777L without seating restrictions.

I think a twin engine is more efficient in liters fuel per passenger km than a quad engine.

But does the article mean the A380neo ? Or a new twin engine version of the A380 ?
