Bigger airplanes involve more costs, such as fuel costs, services costs. And the flight crew might have a smaller demand.

Arlines would have to spend more on bigger planes and on landing taxes. Also bigger planes would need more fuel causing more pollution.

larger planes will mean more expenses such as landing fees and fuel as bigger planes require more fuel consumption so ticket prices rises.

Too hard to fill up all the time ->. longer flight interval. Some people want to have more mobility.

Also, when we make bigger planes, not all seats will be filled, resulting in a waste of resources.
