You won’t see this aircraft at the Dothan airport anytime
soon – it’s just too big. The
Airbus A380 is the world's biggest jet airliner and the first to have two decks
along its full length. It accommodates 525 passengers in a standard
configuration, almost 100 more than the rival Boeing 747, the next
biggest.
The A380 is built in Europe by Airbus and is labeled the
“gentle giant” because while it is a super-jumbo, its engines burn much less fuel
and it is designed to meet demanding noise limits.
