From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Airbus A380 is a double-decker, four-engined airliner manufactured by Airbus S.A.S. It first flew on April 27, 2005 from Toulouse, France. Commercial flights should begin in late 2006 after 15 months of testing, with the delivery of the first aircraft to launch customer Singapore Airlines. During much of its development phase, the aircraft was known as the Airbus A3XX, and the term Superjumbo has become synonymous with the A380.
The A380 is the largest passenger airliner in the world, topping the Boeing 747, which was the largest for 35 years.
