Following the Part 1 of
Malaysian Airlines, the Airbus A380 story that came out on Jan 5, 2021. Here is the link to that story:
Malaysia Airlines’ workhorse for international routes was the Boeing 747-400 (B747-400), which were then about 18 years old and would have to be phased out in years to come anyway.
To Airbus Industrie, typical of all aircraft manufacturers, the selling point was to have an aircraft with great performance and more fuel efficient engines.
The airline, through a project team consisting of pilots from the technical and development department, together with engineers from the technical services department, would conduct a detailed study on the performance figures provided by the aircraft manufacturer and present their recommendations to the board.
