airbus a380
The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine jet airliner manufactured by Airbus. It is the world's largest passenger airliner, and the airports at which it operates have upgraded facilities to accommodate it. It was initially named Airbus A3XX and designed to challenge Boeing's monopoly in the large-aircraft market. The A380 made its first flight on 27 April 2005 and entered commercial service in October 2007 with Singapore Airlines.
The airline with the most number of A380s is Emirates. It currently flies 55 of them, which has visited over 45 airports in over 30 destinations. Till now, the Emirates A380 has generated about 32 million customers and has flown over 467 million kilometres. Emirates currently has 85 more A380s on order! It has 10,000 cabin crew members and over 1,000 pilots for its A380s.
Designed for 21st century growth, it offers 40 per cent more capacity and the lowest seat mile costs in its class. The A380 cabin is the quietest and most spacious in the sky and with 18.5 inch standard seat width in economy, it is no wonder passengers opt for the comfort of the A380 when given the choice.
That means higher market share, higher load factors and higher revenues. All this allows airlines to increase their contribution to profit by up to 50 per cent per flight. Own the sky with the A380.
THE A380 EFFECT: The A380 has been winning over business and leisure passengers alike since its service introduction in 2007, providing levels of comfort and reliability that have led travellers to specifically request flights on Airbus’ 21st century flagship – which is in operation with carriers around the globe.
The double-deck A380 is the world’s largest commercial aircraft flying today, with capacity to carry 525 passengers in a comfortable three-class configuration, and up to 853 in a single-class configuration that provides wider seats than its competitor. Overall, the A380’s two decks offer 50 per cent more floor surface than any other
