Well, Asia is the place where we saw the 747 fitted out as a short-haul, almost commuter plane- remember the 747SR and 747-400D. That's also about the only place that was buying the 777-300, really.

The A380 makes the most sense for either insanely dense routes or insanely long ones... Which is why the Asian and Australian carriers are going gaga over 'em. I expect Airbus will eventually make money on the things, but I would expect Boeing will sell more of its 747-8s in the end.

Hmm. I see that Boeing has stopped making the MD-95... er... 717.
