All rumors a...Thank you for your thoughtful words. All rumors and fingers point at ANA making a binding promise for A380s, and that's the most logical explanation behind Airbus and RR's last-minute sway to ANA; enough 787/777s on order for that segment so A330/350 unlikely, and while more A320 orders are possible, that could have come from Delta as well. An A380 order is the only possible factor Delta couldn't better ANA.<br /><br />But will ANA really fly the A380? I'm not sure. ANA (along with many others) has opted for more frequencies with 777/787/767-sized planes, and the A380 certainly goes against its plan, especially when they have a split hub at HND and NRT. HND is politically not allowed to accept A380s (to protect NRT and ANA/JAL), but ANA's cozy relationship with the current government may change that if they ask for it. Another possibility is ANA may just dismantle the A380s for spare parts for sale to other carriers. It may seem absurd, but ANA has deep pockets, and they are determined to do whatever they can to keep true competition out of HND and protect its lucrative domestic market.Ryosukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04213870752652946888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089781978049766859.post-77286358552913535602015-08-09T14:08:24.340+09:002015-08-09T14:08:24.340+09:00So in your personal opinion, do you think ana will...So in your personal opinion, do you think ana will actually take the a380?
