Look, it’s a bird! No wait, an airship! No wait, an A380!
My favorite massively large passenger plane (I’d call it a JumboJet, but I think Boeing has dibs on that word) has finally had it’s first commercial maiden voyage!
Singapore Airlines Flight SQ380 took off from Singapore to Sydney and offered the passengers a super luxurious ride. Although the Airbus can accommodate up to 850 seats, Singapore Airlines designed the first A380 configuration with only 471 seats, allowing for full comfort. Twelve fully enclosed suites are available ($7,200 each way), along with 60 business class seats, and 399 economy class seats with the most amount of leg room ever available in Singapore economy class. Several “airliner” celebrities were on the cabin roster, including a man who also rode the first 747 maiden voyage flight in 1970, and another man who rode the first Concorde flight in 1979.
The A380 is the most fuel efficient commercial plane now in operation, and it also features 50% lower cabin noise than a 747. Airbus delivered the first A380 to Singapore Airlines with an exclusivity agreement to not deliver any more planes to any carrier for 10 more months.
In the meantime, I wait to ride an A380 in the future. It’s going to be awesome.
