Now, new A-380 jets to fit in 1000 people

Melbourne, May 25 ANI: A new version of the A-380 will be stretched to hold as many as 1000 passengers. According to a report by the Australian Business Traveller, Airbus is set to release an expanded version of the world's largest passenger jet. While most airlines are currently using versions of the jet that can carry between 400 and 540 passengers, the capacity of the next-generation A380 planes will reportedly be much higher. Air Austral has ordered a pair of A380s packed with 840 economy seats that are set to take to the skies in 2014. Meanwhile the A380-900 currently being developed by Airbus will carry up to 900 passengers in an economy-only configuration, and 650 people in a standard multi-class layout. However Lufthansa and Air France are reportedly keen to squeeze even more passengers on board. The airlines are eyeing a larger version called the A380-1000 that is capable of carrying as many as 1000 travellers. ANI
