I was thinking the flow volume of passengers.
If the A380 with 800 passengers forces the plane after it to take off in 2 min rather than 1 min, then wouldn't it be like 2 747s each with 400 passengers taking off in 1 min interval?
Time is money. The less time a passenger spent at the airport, the more money the airport and the airline make. We want to move as many people, as quickly as possible to maximize our profit. Lengthening the take off time between flights costs money.
