Yeah but many fly by wire planes like Boeing's still use yokes. I guess it's a matter of what the company thinks the airlines would want more.

And what are those emblems on the nacelles of the Air France plane? Is that the old logo or something?

Rumour has it the A380 is making a special trip to Birmingham International Airport (BHX) on 9/9/2009 to commerate the opening up of the new international pier, the new emirates lounge and celebrate the 70th birthday of the airport.

Should be very interesting as the airport has quite a short runway and does not permit B747's to take off fully laden.

The A380 will be utilised to the capacity of a B777 for this.

the tail paint of those aircraft, its not definitive, and it was pinted with the old AF logo, bcause, they begun the aircraft assembly when AF didn't show the new one.

Only one airline calls its "First Class" in its A380s 'Suites' but this ain't Singapore Airlines'.

Singapore IS Suites. But it is 4 abreast, on main deck.

QaNTAS First Class is 14 seats, 3 abreast on lower deck. Emirates first class is 14 seats, 4 abreast on upper deck.

Air France First Class shall be 9 seats, 4 abreast on lower deck.

A question for all the brainiacs, have all 3 operators had their A380s at the same airport at the same time?
And is there a picture

Emirates offer special fairs for A380

By The Nation May 20, 2009

Emirates is offering promotions for its Dubai-Bangkok route to mark the world's first Airbus A380 operation to Bangkok.

Until June 20, economy-class fare to Dubai is Bt11,155 while the business class fare at Bt27,645. For those travelling onward to the USA (New York, Houston, San Francisco and Los Angeles), the fares start from Bt36,830. The promotion is valid for travel by June 30. The special fares are available only to online booking at www.emirates.com/th.

Khalid Bardan, Emirates' Area Manager Thailand and Indochina, said "Dubai is a very popular destination for Thai business and leisure travellers. What better way to travel to this popular hotspot than on Emirates' new A380 which has received glowing reviews from global media and trade circles. I am confident our A380 celebratory offers will be enthusiastically welcomed by Thai travellers."

Haha.....I agree 100%. It would be a shame to use the A380 over a 747 to carry the U.S. president around.

zenith_suv · May 21st, 2009, 08:18 AM

plus the 747 looks far more elegant and better suited to carry a head of state.

juzzy · May 21st, 2009, 11:01 AM

this is not a section of the A380...it is way too small(look at the size of the man in comparison to the section) and besides all those windows look like decals..if anything it is a setion of a smaller aircraft disguised as an A380 or it is most likely to be the model of the A380 which is sitting outside london heathrow terminal 3. from my knowledge, sections of the A380 are to big to be transported by plane

simcard · May 21st, 2009, 01:30 PM

good observation,

there is no way that section is destines for a real a380

da_scotty · May 21st, 2009, 03:44 PM
