Airbus Readies For First A380 Delivery

To Be Delivered To Singapore Airlines On Monday, 15th October

In line with previous details, Airbus tells ANN that they will celebrate the first A380-Megaliner-handover to first customer Singapore Airlines on Monday, 15th October, with a dedicated delivery ceremony.

The exclusive event - hosted by Singapore Airlines, Rolls-Royce and Airbus - will take place at the Airbus Delivery Centre in Toulouse (France). The monstrous double-decker aircraft is powered by four Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines.

“This is a major milestone for the A380 programme, and I would like to express my deepest appreciation to all parties concerned. I want to thank our teams and all those who worked hard, days, nights, and week-ends, for their dedication and commitment,” said Tom Enders, Airbus President and Chief Executive Officer.

At the event Singapore Airlines will reveal their new A380 cabin-interior. The flagship of the 21st century will take-off for Singapore on October 16, arriving at Singapore’s Changi International Airport the following day. The next-gen double-decker will enter service between Singapore and Sydney, with a special charity-flight, between both cities on 25/26th October.

The scheduled services will commence daily on October 28th.

Airbus claims that the A380 is "cleaner, greener, quieter and smarter," and "is already setting new environmental benchmarks in air-transport. Per passenger, the A380 has an unmatched fuel efficiency of less than three litres per 100 kilometres."

To date, total orders and commitments for the A380 are 189 from 16 customers.

Subsequent aircraft for delivery to Singapore Airlines, Emirates Airlines and Qantas are also well on track. The ceremony can be viewed on the company website.
