The world's largest passenger airliner has just touched down at Kempegowda International Airport, and this is a major deal. The Airbus A380 is 72.7 metres long, weighs between 510 and 575 tonnes, and is 24.1 metres in height. A380s are still in operation by a number of airlines, the biggest of which being Emirates, even though Airbus has delivered its last A380 to Emirates and will no longer build the aircraft. The A380's huge cabin offers much more space for passengers, with 45 percent more seats than the Boeing 777.
