is the A380 really that fuel efficient? (in real life, day-to-day airline operation) :confused:

Ok, I may not be impartial, but Yes, it really is. Its performing better than the specifications that Airbus required of the engine manufacturers.

And its incredibly quiet. I could hardly believe it when I heard it-- or didn't hear it!

I'm specifically speaking abou the GP7000 powered A380 (Emirates)

Compare it one to one to 737NG and it will look like it is guzzling fuel, compare it per seat and it looks good :)
