Emirates Is FORCED To Use Its A380’s. Here’s WHY!

- Опубликовано: 23 фев 2023
- From Emirates’ huge problems to its pre-ordered aircraft issues that literally got screwed up, these are the reasons why Emirates Is Forced to use A380’s.
And we gotta start with its aircraft delays. Emirates won’t get any of their 200+ already ordered planes before 2024. This leaves the airline with only two types of aircraft in its fleet, the Boeing 777 and Airbus A380.
But this situation actually became a blessing in disguise for the airline, as they had no choice but to fly A380’s to several new destinations as well.

The A380 is hugely favorable to Emirates in high density destinations with slot restrictions (like LHR, CDG and FRA). That’s why Emirates has a soft spot for these giant birds.
The most comfortable flight I've ever experienced is on an A380, on long haul flights comfort is a prime factor.
Sadly Emirates were too expensive this year and I not only flew cheaper but I flew direct! Having said that I fully intend to fly A380 again some time in the future.
I agree! The planes do a great job at smoothing out turbulence. And far more comfortable than the B777 with its 3-4-3 economy seat layout. The 777 economy experience was fine when they used 3-3-3 economy layout.
Did you fly non-stop or direct with stops, the word direct does not mean non-stop in airline speak.
There is a non-stop flight Saigon/Heathrow but it's with an airline I fell out with, so going with Emirates again, plus I had credit and lots of airmiles to use with them.
I agree. I have flown A380s with Emirates and BA. A fantastic aircraft to fly on. Beats BA's B787 by a mile for a quiet, comfortable flight.
The A380’s are actually the newest aircrafts in Emirates fleet, it’s the 777-300ER that’s the old aircraft in Emirates fleet and they started retiring them 5 years ago.
I decided to fly with Emirates to try out the A380, I live near Ho Chi Minh and often visit the UK. Birmingham is the most convenient airport for me and so Emiraite hit two buttons.
The first leg is on a B777 and business class seat convert to a coffin type bed. I might be old at 77 but not ready for the box, with a 11 pm departure and a few drinks in the lounge, a bite to eat on board. Now ready for a kip but it's like sleep at attention as some army expect injured troop to do in hospital.
Arrived at Dubai had a shower and washed away the 777 experience and later boarded the A380, this was not a plane it was a cruise liner. Better seating design that allowed turning in bed, a lounge at the rear of the cabin so a quick night cap while the crew made up my bed. I also used the bar area for a sit at the table meal. this reminded me of a flight back in 1952 on a BOAC plane from W Africa where the seat was train like with a table between the forward and back facing seats.
Now for me it's the cabin and the cabin crew that makes me decide on which airline to choose, also how well I'm looked after at the arriving airport. Birmingham has lost with the trolley charge of a pound, it's not the cost but the inconvenience of having a pound coin ready. How many of the wonderful foreign visitor to UK have a pound coin ready. Just a small thing like that can ruin a company's reputation. Birmingham you have lost me as it was also 300 od pound dearer to land there than Heathrow. Will be doing this trip April a month away to HEATHROW.
They should get A350s and A320s
I have confess I'm a bit confused with your expression of "A380 fiasco" (at 5:04). Really? Or it means Triple 7 fiasco?
Because I can't understand how could the A380 be a fiasco when Emirates are renovating the fatigued wing spars, changing the used landing gears, and even renovating and improving their business model by redesigning interiors. And besides that, it's well known that users prefer the A380 because its confort and roominess.
Please, could you tell were the fiasco is?
@@ayushpawpatrol108 really a320s?
@@5911aviationThen they can fly more routes
I flew A380 SF to Dubai 15 + hours. Emirates sold me a very affordable upgrade on the first leg. Amazing cabin with a lounge on board. The way back in coach was also very comfortable. Emirates has better food, service, IFE, and seats than any US carrier.
I’m so jealous. I live in sf too, I wish I could afford that! Found a RT flight from SF to Israel for 1000 yesterday tho!!
@@connie0613 oh awesome
It’s nice to see the a380s back in the air
They have more than 100 of them and they can fill it out plus it’s their best aeroplane at the moment
For any emirates haters, just note that unlike most airlines emirates is trying to fix their problems.
bro no one hates emirates
Emirate's new cabin looks fab. Their old economy class was pretty good, new one looks amazing. For the money, it's look difficult to beat.
It's beginning to look like the 777X or A350 won't be big enough, and that the A380's carrying capacity is beginning to come into its own. For example, if Emirates were to replace all A380's with 777X, they'd have to fly a lot more of them. This isn't an option into a lot of Emirate's key destinations, like London Heathrow; there simply aren't the landing slots available. Worse, the quality drops; an A380 carries more passengers with loads of room per pax, even in economy. The 777X carries fewer people, and crams them in tight whilst doing so.
So for some airlines, especially Emirates, they look like being totally dependent on A380 for a long time to come. Apparently the airline has said that, even now, they need more A380's than they've currently got. If the up tick in traffic is sustained, and A380's capacity remains necessary, there is going to be serious pressure for more to be manufactured.
A reason that might happen is, Rolls Royce's Ultrafan engine. They've been doing a ton of flight test, it's rumoured to be excellent, and now they're building a production version. But, for what aircraft? There's nothing new in the pipeline, that we know about. This invites speculation! Coming next, speculation...
The A380 is already a serious economic proposition on any route - Ok, slightly thirsty, but offers something unique and apparently popular and surprisingly competitive if you can sell every seat. An A380neo - even an old A380 with replacement engines - would be a serious game changer: significantly more economic, and still big / high capacity / luxurious. I think that we're going to see Ultrafan on some surprising airframes - like existing A380's - so long as Emirates see continued growth in demand.
Airbus may well neo-ise the A380 and build a few more. A sort-of precedent is the A330neo. The result is actually pretty good; price competitive against 787 (who'd have thought?), a good product, popular with passengers who've flown on it. More importantly, it was pretty cheap for Airbus to do it. It would be quite a lot of money to reactivate A380 production - they'd have to find somewhere else to make all those A320s for a start. But I really cannot see any viable alternative, if one of the busiest airlines with hundreds of A380s is to keep growing, or even maintain current passenger numbers. It's probably possible for Emirates to make it worthwhile for Airbus.
U said the airline needs more a380 s than they currently got which makes no sense as they have 30 pretty new a380s parked in the desert
@@purevanilla4438 Bringing them back as fast as they can though.
Or, hear me out, an A370 - a twin-engine double-decker.
@@keithmclean4283I hope they do tho.We need our big bois back
@@warmikemaybe like a bit smaller than the a380 so it can be twin engine but still huge
Absolutely amazing plane to fly on, Been lucky enough to fly First, Buissness and economy. I go out of my way to make sure i fly this aircraft. It will be around for many years to come
That's why emirates busy passengers love flying them .including myself.
This is a real good video. But won’t lie it felt like some thing were repeated every 3mins. But then again hearing A380 every few seconds is daunting 😂
Emirates business model is currently built around them using the A380 on most of its routes
super interesting, thanks a lot ! 🙂
The A380’s failed, but if the airline’s are using them this much and it actually being easy to fill them with passengers, at least i think it’s good news.
Genuinely great video. This is the first video of yours I've watched and I'm very impressed. Many other aviation channels don't seem to get into the nitty gritty, or produce boring/repetitive content. Either that or clickbaity, shitty videos to get views. Idk - I've personally wanted to start my own channel to have a shot at addressing some of these problems (easier said than done) but this is just fantastic!
love your videos
I'm so happy to see the A380 getting back the respect it deserves 😍 👌🏻 🔝
Airbus is literally kicking Boeing’s ass now 😈 👊🏻 🔝 😂
Emirates a380 also returned to narita
Most of these A380s are not old, boy.
Bro said boy 💀
@Lil Mikey Yes sir
@@lilmikey2203i dont understand whats tripping you up about someone saying boy
I mean, the A-380 is from the mid-2000s. It's pretty old, but not as old as the 747
But still some routes are really not on high demand. Emirates A380 fly every day from Sao Paulo to Dubai. On that fly it was only 20% booked out
It loses them money on quite a few routes.
A380: The reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated.
I have always known that the A380 would long live and it’s service records and longevity have been impeccable over the years . I believe the A380 will be around for years to come ! A Rolls Royce with wings in my opinion . Great video 👍💯
What are your sources ?
I don't think they have a problem at all. Emirates make most of their money from the airport not from the planes. They need the biggest planes they can get to bring the passengers into their almost exclusive airport to drain them of their money before sending them onto their final destination! Plus a lot of their passengers choose them specifically because they have the A380s operating to and from their airport of choice. The passenger experience is far superior to any other airliner...except for some of the cattle class only planes that fly to some nearby mostly African destinations but they seem to be slowly disappearing now.
Flown Adelaide to Dubai (back in the day) on Boeing 777 then on to London on A380, economy all the way, numerous times, and have to say I loathed the 777 with a vengance for numerous reasons and loved the A380. Bit like a Russian Lada as opposed to the Rolls Royce A380.
“Singapore Airlines”
Nice👌
thats why i saw aan emirates a380 in toulouse blagnac airport i live i cornebarrieu a town next too Blagnac
They could even add this on the busy routes to major indian hubs such as Mumbai ,Bangalore , Delhi and increase the no of seats on economy class. If they start with just 2 flights a day that would be great.
They are already predominately the high density 380s without F and a smaller business class to pack in more economy seats to India.
I think the Indian government restricts EK flights in order to increase market share amongst Indian airlines.
I’m glad to see some Boeing aircraft added to the Emirates crew such as the 787, and the new 777X can wait to see it! Nice video! 😎
Haha, Boeing has again a delivery stop. it is hard if you cheated for multiple year to play according the rules.
@@PatPat144 you're a joke
They actually have some 787’s in their fleet as well now
The 777X, 787 and A350 are going to replace the old 777-300ER. The A380s are going to stay for a while. Even though the A380 is not very fuel efficient, it is very profitable if it flys full, and Emirates is able to do so
You will see the number of 380 slowly reduce in the EK fleet. They are only updating 87 of 120 of the aircraft with PE and new fixtures. That tells you right there more than 30 are already planned to leave the fleet in the next few years. Probably used for spare parts to keep the rest going.
@@johniii8147 the ones not updating don't mean that they're going to exit. Don't forget that EK even has some 777s and A380s that do not include their signature first class. And I think the same thing will go for PE
@@anhminho6115 Actually in this case it does. They have not put the new F class on any 380 and don't plan to. This is only on 9 777s
@@johniii8147 I think new F is unnecessary for A380s. Emirates want to make F in both A380 and B777 have some unique advantage that makes passenger feel good. F without showers have become a big disadvantage for their 777 so if A380s’ F are retrofitted with the layout of 777 then who wants to fly their 777?
@@anhminho6115 They are not making the money off of F. They are not investing in updating it for a good reason. The money is coming from their PE cabins and the subpar business class.
One thing is they used to have a330 what happened is not old and it got retried
Because of mighty Boeing
Whats the difference between a380-800 and a380-841?
I think the 841s and 842s use Rolls Royce Engines while 861s use Engine Alliiance engines
A voiceover guy with no voice and a lisp...awesome
Emirates intended to keep the A380 well into the next decade so I wonder how screwed they are when they have abided with their strategic objective. Unfortunately anyone with a decent camera and editing skills can present any junk to an ignorant audience. If you are knowledgeable in the aviation sector and read comments before watching, please don't waste 8 minutes on this video🙏
I flew 777 from Dubai to Orlando - I was disappointed because the plane was old and no leg room for a 15 hour flight . Never again
I don’t think your right. Tim Clark is on record saying how customers love the A380 and they even ran during covid. They are updating due to passenger satisfaction. Places can fly for 20 years or more without any issue. Just look at the US fleet age
Emirates prioritizes ln a young fleet so by 2040 they’ll be gone sadly😭
I take an EK a380 from Amman to Dxb many times a year. About a 2.5 hour flight. Its nearly Completely empty, maybe 60 or so pax. Then I fly a jampacked 16 hour flight on an ancient EK 777 from Dxb to Orlando . A380 is faaaaar better.
We used to call A380 the “Fat girl in tight jeans “ … inside industry joke
There big, bulky and bad ass
Great airline but bad fleet because another aircraft used o
Lot of fleet another type of aircraft like a350 but Emirates only use 2 fleet and is bad for me the aircraft was good fleet was bad because it only have 2
Emirates only operated A380 and 777's.The upside is that all crew only need to be trained on 2 aircraft types,saving a lot of money and time.
That's going to pretty quickly change here in a couple of years with the delivery of the 350s and 787s
Cracked wing spars are not a thing?
"Forced to use its A380s"....well, the A380 makes nearly half of their fleet...sure the are "forced" to use it....and 8-12 years is NOT old....
1:25 dude it’s spelled Melbourne and pronounced melben
It does NOT haul more cargo. It hauls much less than the 777, and in proportion to passengers, the A380 hardly has any cargo capacity
That was one of its major flaws. The 777-300ER can carry almost twice the amount of cargo on a full passenger load.
Which is why you see the 77W used on some sectors to compliment the A380, in order to provide freight capacity.
I can't help thinking that Airbus's decision to shut down the A380 production line may have been a bit short sighted as demand rises.
No, I expect they knew what they were doing far more than you do. Even EK canceled it's final order for 39 of them since they already had too many. That was the final nail in the coffin of what had been coming for awhile.
Happy to be able to fly the best and safest plane available, the A380. The Boeing 777's are really getting out dated and smelly. Unfortunately Boeing lets all it's customers down, again delivery stops on the 787, delays on the 777x .
Why u talking like 12 years is that much fore airplanes? I work with ups planes as a meck, and some planes we get are over 20 and flying fine
Ngl, it’s sad to think, but I highly doubt they would’ve fixed the wing spars if it wasn’t regulated. Sadly majority of the safety in aviation is due to the deaths of hundreds and greed of a few
It was indeed a safety directive to fix them. It's not optional.
YAY!! Etihad bringing in competition against Emirates!!
Good video although a pandemic was not what happened? Kind of missed that WEF flu PLANNEDemic
if any Aussies read this, admit he said "Melbourne" wrong
👇
Indigo should launch direct flights from New Delhi to Toronto and Vancouver. Currently flight tickets are very expensive i guess indigo will cheaper and direct flights to North America.
The A380 is simply the best Airplane.
Mel-ben....not MELLLLL BORRRNe.
Boeing suffer for cost cutting and understanding the value of expertise.
8 and 12 years old is not OLD
Emirates is not screwed, They are still the best airlines in the world and their A380s are the flagship models, half of celebrities, athletes, business men love Emirates.
Just an ad for Emirates
airbus screw up with the wing spar should be covered by airbus not the airlines
but some of their a380s are sent to manila international airport for maintenance only
mnl international airport terminals can't handle a380
Emirates b777 is used for routes to mnl, crk, ceb
The A380 is a beautiful plane
I´m no expert by any means, but if there is a suitable solution like the A350, why isn´t Emirates using that plane instead of the 777X or 789?
They have 50 350s on order.
I wonder how Russia is coping , taking care of all the 500 plus aircraft's it had confiscated , after the sanctions became in effect in 2022 .
Are they still maintaining these complicated aircraft's as required by the FAA?
Not very well from reports. The FAA only has authority over aircraft flying into the US. They don't really have anything to do with Russia at this point for obvious reasons
@@johniii8147 if Russia wants to continue flying these aircrafts they still have to keep it up to standards the FAA requires. Otherwise these Russian airplanes will not be able to fly in the US or Canada or even Europe
@@jan22150 They are banned from all those markets due to sanctions from the war so they don't have to meet the regulations of any of those. It will be a LONG time before they fly to markets again. It's mostly all dometic now.
@@johniii8147 that's my point, if they are not be required to follow the strict rules set by the FAA, how can you make sure that the planes flying in Russia now are safe to fly.
I would be afraid to set foot in a Russian plane right now.
The very laks way they maintain their equipment, it is doubtful if it is up to standards !
and yet people think that oil comes from dinos... lol
Part of the story of the A380 return is slightly more mundane than you might think. There is a global shortage of airport and airline workers. combine that with airports with limited numbers of take off and landing slots per day, and it's the only way an A380 even makes marginal sense. Otherwise, it's not particularly good passenger mile costs, and having nearly 600 seats out of service every time a sensor plays havoc is a serious issue.
The A380 also has a hidden cost that most airlines won't talk about, which is they are extremely poor in taking belly cargo. Given 500 to 600 pax on each flight, most of the belly space is taken up with their baggage and whatnot. Compare that to a 777, which flies 350 to 450 depending on configuration, and still has place for a fair bit of cargo as well. The A380 is a big enough issue that Emirates flies separate 777 cargo planes to the same destination, which they may not have to do if they flew three or four 777s on the same route.
So overall, the A380 is not efficient, but they have cast their die and they have to use them.

Why dont/didn’t Emirates buy any 747s
747 are no longer manufactured with the last one being a cargo version
@@danielletisserand2321 they could still buy second hand ones, and why didn’t they buy any before they stopped making them?
@@youseflegg2298 there are only seven airlines that still have 747 passenger aircraft. Four engine aircraft are no longer economical as opposed to two engine. The same thing happened to the A330. Why they didn't buy before the end of the production run no clue

Boeing is now unable to produce aircraft. It is dead.
Stupid title . Take the a380ies away and emirates is gone , so to speak.
