Yah agree with most of you that 747-8 is the nearest to A380 in terms of capacity but airliners are not rushing to buy it despite the delay in deliveries for A380 for some reasons. One is that the 747-8 will not be delivered in time even if orders are made right now, the A380 will be delivered faster even after the delay. The other reason is that the airliners are being paid huge compensation for the delays so at the end of the day and they pay like really little $$$ for each A380. Despite all the compaints and naggings, the airliners will stick with the A380. Look at SQ and you will know what I mean, they mention cancelling orders as being one of the options, but they will not do it. So for A380 supporters out there, no worries, it is juz a temporal problem before we get all those planes in our airports. Cheers
