The new Airbus A380 has just completed its maiden flight over the Bay of Biscay. The world's largest airplane is also the first full double-decker and will accommodate up to 840 passengers (if economy class only). Singapore Airlines will be the first to acquire the giant, and intend to start commercial flights from 2006. Emirates and Qantas will be the next in line.
The aircraft was designed and manufactured in the UK, France, Germany and Spain.
