In my earlier post I wrote about the biggest airport. This place is the main whereabouts of this plane, because the Emirates airline, which is based in Dubai, has 115 of these planes in its fleet. It calls Airbus A380. It has a two full-length decks and it can accommodate up to 868 passengers. (538 on the main deck and 330 on the upper). Often in use is only about 500 seats because it comes in a lot of configurations, but it depends on airline. For exaple in Air France in use is 538 seats(9 in First class, 80 in Business class and 449 in Economy class) because the passengers in higher classes expect more place, cause they pay more for tickets.
Airbus A380 is powered by four engines. It features an 8,200 nautical-mile range (15,200 km), enabling it to service some of the longest routes in commercial aviation.
In Poland we don’t have ocassion to see this Airbus, because in a fly to poland and from poland there is not enough people to to cover such a large plane in its entirety. It’s important, cause every free seat on the plane means losses for the airline.
I wonder whether it would be able to land in any of our airports. Are the runways long enough?
