Singapore Airlines has taken delivery of the first Airbus A380 (15.10.2007), the largest passenger jet in the world. The massive double-decker aircraft is capable of carrying up to 471 passengers across economy, business class and first class, with the top deck home to the premium cabins and 399 economy seats spread across both levels. Travellers flying in the aircraft's first class cabin - otherwise known as Singapore Airlines Suites - each get a personal space behind sliding doors, with each seat measuring almost a metre wide. Singapore Airlines' business class offering provides the largest seat of its cabin class in the world, measuring some 34 inches wide. Further improvements have also been made to the economy class cabin, all of the menus and the carrier's award-winning inflight entertainment system as part of the arrival of the new aircraft. Stephen Forshaw of Singapore Airlines told BBC Radio 5 Live's Wake Up To Money programme that the new plane is set to be a "game changer" within the air travel sector. "The work that's gone into making this aircraft ready to enter service quickly has really been a mammoth effort by Airbus, ourselves, Rolls-Royce and many other vendors who've brought the aircraft to completion today," he added. Taking place on October 25th, the first flight using the new aircraft will fly from Singapore to Sydney.
