| Lufthansa- Airbus A380 |
The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine airliner manufactured by the European corporation Airbus, a subsidiary of EADS. The largest passenger airliner in the world, the A380 made its maiden flight on 27 April 2005 from Toulouse, France, and made its first commercial flight on 25 October 2007 from Singapore to Sydney with Singapore Airlines. The aircraft was known as the Airbus A3XX during much of its development phase, but the nickname Superjumbo has since become associated with it.
From cabin comfort and eco-efficiency to operating costs and revenue generation, Airbus’ 21st century flagship A380 offers step-change improvements over any current or proposed 400-plus seat airliner – allowing its operators around the world to boost profitability stimulate demand and increase their market share.
Since its 2007 service entry, Airbus A380 has delivered the lowest fuel burn and operating costs in commercial aviation – all while flying higher, further and quieter. In additional to its use on long-haul routes, operating airlines are successfully utilising the A380 on regional segments – and even on high-density shorter-haul flights.
With seating capacity ranging from 400 to more than 800 passengers, the A380 also is an essential part of the solution for sustainable growth – alleviating traffic congestion at busy airports by transporting more passengers with no additional flights and at much lower costs.
Did u know?
It is estimated that world traffic volume will increase from the current annual 24 trillion kilometres (15 trillion miles) to in excess of 100 trillion kilometres (62 trillion miles) by 2050. Travel by car will drop from 53% of total transport use to 35%, with high-speed transport such as air travel increasing from 9% to more than 40%.
The Airbus company addresses this problem with their double-deck jet, the A380.
