I don't expect a ten year old A380 costs more to run than a 27 year old 777.
or to state what should really be obvious:
Analysis of direct operating cost of wide-body passenger aircraft: A parametric study based on Hong Kong - ScienceDirectWith limited data on the dual engine widebodies, it appears that the Boeing 767 costs around $9,130 per hour to operate, the 777 costs around $7,380 per hour, and the Airbus A330 costs around $7,900 per hour.
More engines lead to higher prices.
<snip>
The Airbus A380, the largest passenger jet, costs between $26,000 and $29,000 per hour, using roughly $17,467 of fuel, approximately $40.19 to $44.82 per mile. The engines on these aircraft account for 5% of the operating expenses.
Four engines are considered uneconomical nowadays. The reliability of engines has become so good and twin engined range so improved that 4 engines are not required for most routes.
The a380 was a dead duck at the design stage and I was shocked it ever went into production.
Ouch.

According to media reports, the pilots had to land the plane due to an oil leak, discovered in one of the aircraft's engines.

Oh dear. So many similar Boeing planes with problems.
Boeing 777 makes an emergency landing in Moscow after engine sensor problem

"A Rossiya Airlines Boeing 777 cargo plane made an emergency landing at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport on Friday due to a problem with an engine control sensor, the airline said.The plane was a 15-year-old 777-300ER, according to flight tracking website FlightRadar24, which means it has General Electric engines.
Those are different from the Pratt & Whitney PW4000 engines under scrutiny after an engine fire aboard a United Airlines 777 on Saturday which prompted the suspension of operations involving planes using those engines.
GE Aviation said it was aware of the event.
“Safety is our first priority, and our technical support teams are working closely with the airline to quickly resolve the issue and return the aircraft to normal operations,” it said in a statement.
Russian airlines operate Boeing 777-300ER planes equipped with General Electric GE90-115B engines, federal aviation agency Rosaviatsiya said on Wednesday, adding it was not considering suspending operation of those aircraft.
Rossiya Airlines Flight 4520, travelling from Hong Kong to Madrid, touched down in Moscow at 0444 local time (0144 GMT), data from Flightradar24 showed.
Rossiya Airlines, a unit of Russian state carrier Aeroflot, said the crew requested the landing at the airline’s base airport in Moscow.
“The landing took place normally,” Rossiya said in a statement, adding that the flight would continue to Madrid after 0900 GMT on Friday."

Does that strike anyone else as incomprehensible?
Thai Airways loss soars to B141bnFinancially struggling Thai Airways International (THAI) announced a staggering net loss of 141 billion baht last year as the Covid-19 crisis plunged the carrier deeper into the red.
THAI and its subsidiaries earned combined revenue of 48.3 billion baht with expenses totalling 96.4 billion baht between them.
That resulted in an operating loss of 48.1 billion baht and translated into a net loss of 141.1 billion baht last year, said Chai Eamsiri, executive vice president of THAI's Finance and Accounting Department.
The loss exceeded that of 2019 which amounted to 129.1 billion baht.
A complete non event and not even an emergency, just over enthusiastic journalism.
