There is a fallacy of failing to consider the total impact of, say, landfilling all the newspapers and magazines from all BA flights every day (instead of collecting and recycling them) compared to the impact of one A380 positioning flight every few months to do heavy maintenance on it.
And if someone was going to build another European A380 maintenance facility, how much energy and resources would that need compared to using the existing one in Manila?
It's always a bit complicated....
