The Airbus A380 is a double-deck widebody aircraft designed for medium- to long-haul airline operations.
The A380 is powered by four turbofan engeines: available with two types, the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 or the Engine Alliance GP7000.
It is the world's largest passenger airliner, and the airports at which it operates have upgraded facilities to accommodate it.
The A380 entered commercial service on 25 October 2007 and offers seating capacities between 525-853 with its three passenger
versions: A350-800, A350-900 and A350neo. |

with 75 in service and a further 65 on firm order. On 14 April 2014, Airbus A380-861 s/n 159 was flown first with Airbus Industries
