Hanoi Airport To Welcome The Airbus



The world's largest passenger jet, the Airbus A380, will touch down in Hanoi’s Noi Bai airport next weekend during its demonstration tour, an aviation official said.

Tran Long Nhien, General Director of the Northern Airports Authority, said the airport was technically qualified to receive the super jumbo jet, which is slated to arrive at 10:30 am on September 2.

A Noi Bai airport representative said the airport would ensure that other operations at the airport would run smoothly during the A380 arrival.

Besides Vietnam, the A380 will also visit Thailand, China and South Korean in September.

In total, 16 companies have ordered 159 A380s, and another 95 have been optioned, according the Airbus website.

Emirates Airlines, which aims to become a major global player in the near future, has ordered 43.

The planes can carry 520 passengers.

The first A380 will be delivered to Singapore Airlines in October.

The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, four-engine airliner manufactured by EADS (Airbus S.A.S.). It first flew on 27 April 2005 from Toulouse, France. After lengthy delays, commercial flights are scheduled to begin in late 2007.
