Oh OK. We shall see. 380'es might be just the ticket for the China-India air lanes.

However this is a good start. If there are more travelers then there will
need to be either more flights or a smaller increase flights carrying more
people ?

E.g. slots in Beijing or Delhi may well get just as crowded as LHR or JFK.

Point to point has a good place in this (I used to fly direct
StockholmManchester) but like motorways etc there are limits on
the number of aircraft which can transit a given site.
