Airbus A380

The Airbus all-new design
superjumbo, the A380, is the world's
first twin-deck, twin-aisle airliner.
Advantages of the A380 include lower
fuel burn per seat and lower operating
costs per seat. The 555 seat Airbus A380-800, with a
non-stop range of 8,000nm, was

aircraft began production in January
2002. The first flight (with the Rolls-
Royce engines) took place from Blagnac Airport, Toulouse, in April
2005. Over 100 test flights were
completed before its first commercial
flight by Singapore Airlines from
Singapore to Sydney took place on 25
October 2007.
