The A380: The World's Biggest Jetliner Takes Flight

Airbus has overtaken Boeing with its A380, the world's largest jetliner, designed to meet the growing demand for long-haul flights. The A380 can carry up to 1000 passengers in some configurations and is aimed at markets in Asia and the Middle East. It features powerful and efficient Rolls Royce engines. Safety concerns and infrastructure adjustments are being addressed. Airbus has received significant orders, especially from Emirates, but needs to sell more to break even. The A380 offers luxury features for first-class passengers, while economy class remains basic. Boeing, however, believes in smaller, long-range aircraft for future aviation.
