About

The Airbus A380 is the world's largest passenger airliner, a wide-body aircraft with a full-length double-deck design. Manufactured by Airbus, it made its first flight in 2005 and entered service in 2007. With a typical seating capacity of 525 passengers in a three-class configuration or up to 853 passengers in an all-economy configuration, the A380 offers unprecedented capacity. Its four-engine design and advanced aerodynamics provide exceptional range and fuel efficiency for its size. Production ended in 2021, making it a modern legend in aviation history.
