Five-Hour Test Involving 494 Simulates 15-Hour Trip
This was a big week for Airbus's biggest jet, the upcoming A380.
In addition to the first flight of a plane destined to be
delivered to a customer earlier this week, the
European consortium also successfully completed two additional

onboard an A380 will be like.
One fleet type, one engine type... that's what US low-cost
carrier Frontier Airlines announced Friday, as it selected the

scheduled for delivery between 2008 and 2010. The engine order is
valued at $75 million at list price.
