It's great that airlines are choosing the more economical planes because it's better for the environment

Actually, we see both of those models in the real world. With a mix of point to point and hub.
The A380 exist so Airbus can say "we have the biggest". Remember, the project started in 1988, Airbus was small and needed a plane to assert their "know how".
Boeing did invest on the B787-8, the passenger version wasn't really a succes, but the cargo is doing fine.
The B787 came to compete with the A330. And Airbus responded with the A330neo. While the A350 XWB will take on the B777 (Boeing answer to the A340, and 2 engines vs 4 engines, guess who won), Boeing responded with the upcoming B777x.
Now we have:
A320 neo vs B737 MAX
A330 neo vs B787
A350 XWB vs B777x
A380 vs B747-8i -
To say the A-380 is a failure is very wrong. It certainly has made Airbus money.

Big plane, little plane, welcome to our airport!

Please pronounce England's Birmingham correctly. It's not about pronouncing all Birmingham's the same, its that the English one is a different place (the original) and is pronounced differently. More than happy for the American one to be pronounced HAM, but the English one just isn't.
It's pronounced Birming-um.

um at the end. -
Is that a Boeing commercial?
-
Manchester isn't a small airport, it is one of the biggest transatlantic hubs in the U.K. after Gatwick and Heathrow, there are multiple flights a day to the US from Manchester
-
I'm from Scotland and ur calling Edinburgh a small city
-
No, it is more expensive for smaller airports because there is less workers there, and everyone has more to do.
-
No one will fly an A380 from JFK to LAX.
-
Make video how airlines work :D Great video !
-
do B737MAX vs A320NEO,B787 vs A350,B747-8 vs A380
-
I think point to point makes sense in America where distances are longer but in Europe or Asia I will just travel to the nearest international hub to get a cheaper flight
-
he is just a boeing fan...
-
But would more point to point flights put more planes on busy flight paths and airports?
-
That's why Airbus decided to "copy" 787 and make their a350.
-
Comparing the number of orders (which I don't believe is a public figure??) of a so-called "super plane" vs a narrow-body airplane is a bad idea... that's like comparing the number of $20 bills and $100 bills in circulation...
-
A380 indeed is a failure....NOW, when it was released it wasn't
-
The 787 is not a "little plane". Dumb thumbnail.
-
A380 vs 747-8
A350 XWB vs 787
A320neo vs 737 MAX
Excited for the competition, not so with 787's battery explosions
