Airbus A380
Largest passenger plane
The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, wide-body passenger aircraft and the world's largest commercial airliner.
Manufactured by the European consortium Airbus, it entered service in 2007 and can carry over 500 passengers in typical configurations.
The A380 became iconic for its massive size and premium cabin amenities, though production ended in 2021 as airlines shifted toward smaller, more fuel-efficient twin-engine aircraft.
