Actually, I think you have the numbers mixed up. The current stat looks like: 1,779 flights over 8 aircrafts logging in total 5,043 hrs., 35 minutes of flight time. That's close to double what the A380 has.. Let me know if you're reading that differently. All I know is that between the two of these aircrafts - they've practically tested the wings off of them! Kudos to the aviation industry! And to the original comment, a company like Boeing or Airbus isn't going to release a plane that hasn't been sufficiently tested.
