Can someone explain to me why there's demand for such a low capacity long range aircraft as the Dreamliner?
Maybe its relatively cheap per unit

beacuse there are only so many Long range high demand routes.
You would put the a380 on the very high demand routes, but again, say you have a route that requires a long range, but dosent have the load factors requireing 400+ capacity (e.g maybe perth-london etc) , then you go for a lower capacity aircraft to service the route.

The number of seats a plane has, and the load factor of a route, plays probally the biggest factor in choosing which plane to serve it.
