Superjumbo

The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, four-engine airliner manufactured by the European corporation Airbus,. The largest passenger airliner in the world, the A380 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.

The A380's upper deck extends along the entire length of the fuselage. This allows for a cabin with 50% more floor space than the next largest airliner, the Boeing 747-400,[4] and provides seating for 525 people in standard three-class configuration or up to 853 people in full economy class configuration.[5][6] The A380 is offered in passenger and freighter versions. The A380-800, the passenger model, is the largest passenger airliner in the world, superseding the Boeing 747, but has a shorter fuselage than the Airbus A340-600 which is Airbus' next biggest passenger airplane.
