| - The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine airliner manufactured by the European corporation Airbus, an EADS subsidiary. 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.
- The Airbus A380 is a two-leveled, four-engined jet airliner created by Airbus S.A.S. Its first flight was on 27 April 2005. It is the world's largest passenger aircraft, capable of carrying up to 853 passengers or 525 passengers in a typical three-class configuration. As of 2006, five had been built, and was still in the "test-flight" stage. It began commercial operations with Singapore Airlines in late 2007, initially flying to Sydney, Australia. Another 2 aircraft were due to join their fleet in March 2008, when they were able to start operations to London Heathrow Airport, England.

Another 2 aircraft were due to join their fleet in March 2008, when they were able to start operations to London Heathrow Airport, England. The A380-800 has a range of 15,700 km (8,477 nmi), and a cruising speed of Mach 0.85 (1,050 km/h), similar to that of the Boeing 747. This means it can fly from Chicago, USA to Sydney, Australia without refueling. However, this is a direct route with no passengers, and without the required safety margin, so the usable range is shorter. Passengers of the prototype have said that it is ten times better than current planes.

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. The A380's upper deck extends along almost the entire length of the fuselage, and its width is equivalent to that of a widebody aircraft. This allows for a cabin with 50% more floor space than the next-largest airliner, the Boeing 747-400. and provides seating for 525 people in standard three-class configuration or up to 853 people in all economy class configuration. The A380 is offered in passenger and freighter versions. The A380-800, the passenger model, is the largest passenger airliner in the world, but has a shorter fuselage than the Airbus A340-600 which is Airbus' next biggest passenger aeroplane. The A380-800F, the freighter model, is offered as one of the largest freight aircraft, with a listed payload capacity exceeded only by the Antonov An-225. The A380-800 has a design range of 15,200 kilometres (8,200 nmi), sufficient to fly from Boston, Massachusetts to Hong Kong for example, and a cruising speed of Mach 0.85 (about 900 km/h or 560 mph at cruising altitude). It is the first commercial jet capable of using GTL-based fuel.
