Taking a clean-sheet design for airlines’ operational needs of tomorrow, Airbus developed the A380 as the most spacious and efficient airliner ever conceived. More than 2 million passengers have already relaxed in the comfort of its double-deck, wide-bodied cabin, offering more space than any other aircraft.

This 525-seat aircraft – which is already flying to 12 major cities worldwide, including Hong Kong – delivers an unparalleled level of comfort while retaining all the benefits of commonality with Airbus’ other fly-by-wire aircraft Families.

More room to breathe

Welcome to the wide open spaces of the Airbus A380.

With two full-length decks offering 50 per cent more floor surface than any other high capacity aircraft. Broader seats. More personal storage. Better head room. Wider stairs. All in all, more space for every passenger to relax and appreciate the quietest cabin of any airliner currently flying.

The wide open spaces outside the A380 benefit from its design, too. The A380's engine emissions are well below current international limits, contributing to improved air quality around the airports it serves.

Giving us all more room to breathe where we need it most.

Fresher thinking about flying

The Airbus A380 is a big aircraft full of fresh ideas.

Its twin, full-length, wide-bodied cabin has exceptionally efficient air filters. With four high level air outlets instead of the traditional two, the cabin air gets refreshed every three minutes. Which helps passengers to feel fresher, both during and after the flight.

There is a fresh approach to its environmental impact, too. With a new wing design and composite materials accounting for 25 per cent of its structural weight, the A380 is a much more efficient aircraft all around. And by producing only about 75g of CO2 per passenger kilometre, the A380 is helping the aviation industry's commitment to minimise greenhouse gas emissions.

A better environment inside and out.

The Airbus A380 offers a flying experience no other aircraft in the sky can match.

Two full-length decks with more space for every passenger. 220 windows flooding the cabin with natural light. An onboard noise level that's the lowest of any existing passenger aircraft, quiet enough to significantly reduce fatigue.

But the environmental benefits of the A380 don't just belong to the passengers. The stringent ISO14001 corporate certification awarded to Airbus recognizes our use of a robust Environmental Management System to minimize the environmental impact of the A380, throughout its life cycle.

Making it an easier aircraft to live with inside and out.

A more natural way to fly.

The Airbus A380 goes to great lengths to make long-haul flying feel more natural.

There's the extra space per passenger afforded by its twin, full-length, wide-bodied cabins. The cabin air, recycled every three minutes to keep the atmosphere fresh. The natural light provided by 220 cabin windows. And while the A380 feels more natural inside, the environment outside benefits too. From the dramatically reduced external noise levels. From the lower fuel consumption and significantly improved CO2 emissions per passenger kilometre. From the increased capacity at airports and the reduced need for expansion.

A better aircraft, inside and out. Naturally.
