Quote: Emirates operates more A380s than Qantas, Lufthansa, Airfrance and British Airways combined, and holds 1/2 of the remainder order book.
The reason why they have more than everyone combined and are the only ones who want more is because you can only operate them if you get subsidies from your government. Nobody else gets subsidies so they can't operate them.
