impact of wide body jet aircraft on the aviatio industry with regard to passenger fares and travels?

Answer 1

Even the smaller wide bodies reduce the cost per seat and flight frequency. I hadn't thought about if before but I guess a plane can get only so long before it becomes a ground handling problem and increases fuselage stress due to the cantilever extending aft from the Main Gear. So at least in the airline industry fat makes sense. Rain Drops are fat and they represent the perfect aerodynamic shape.

As to the impact; if you reduce fares you increase affordability and more people will fly.

Answer 2

Just my opinion wide body aircraft in the passenger industry would mainly be used for long flights such as overseas. The fares maybe in relatively the same terms as the smaller jets depending on the popularity of the flight and how many passengers fill the plane. The prices will however depend on fuel costs, some airports even charge gate fees. However I have been following the new Boeing wide body jets. They are more customer friendly and fuel efficient. Go to the Boeing website and see the new generation that could change everything completely.
