600 people is an incredibly large plane. Most are more like 160-180.

There are plenty of plans with nearly 600 people in capacity. The Airbus A380 has a max capacity of 900 people. If you are going to bring a bomb on a plane, which one would you choose?

A 20 person commuter jet or a 900 seat Emirates Air flight from London to NYC?

Whichever is most convenient, since it's a low probability operation. 9/11 attack would have been 10x worse casualties if it was 1 hr later . Why wasn't it?
