economics<br />
The <strong>A380</strong>’s introduction on a wide variety of routes<br />
is creating thousands of extra seats for airline<br />
customers while saving millions of dollars annually<br />
in operating costs. With this <strong>new</strong>-<strong>generation</strong> aircraft,<br />
operators are able to increase capacity by around<br />
20 percent at no overall extra cost during a week’s<br />
schedule,ormaintainthesamecapacitybutflying<br />
it at 15 to 20 percent lower cost per trip and per<br />
seat.<br />
Flight operational<br />
commonality<br />
The <strong>A380</strong> features a common flight deck and<br />
virtually identical flying qualities with those of the<br />
A320, A330, A340 and A350XWB Families.<br />
Airlines benefit from significant savings through<br />
reduced training requirements and a common<br />
pool of pilots.<br />

Part of the solution<br />
The quietest widebody aircraft<br />
The <strong>A380</strong> carries 42% more passengers than<br />
the 747-400 but produces half the noise<br />
energy when taking off; and three to four times<br />
less noise energy when landing.<br />
Reducing CO2 emissions... a lot<br />
The <strong>A380</strong> burns 17% less fuel per seat than the<br />
747-400. And 17% less fuel equals 17% less CO2<br />
emissions, making the <strong>A380</strong> the most environmentally<br />
friendly aircraft.<br />
Higher capacity to relieve congestion<br />
The <strong>A380</strong> makes a better use of the most valuable<br />
and highly scarce asset at major airports,<br />
take off and landing slots, and is the key to help<br />
accommodating traffic growth without continuously<br />
increasing the number of frequencies.<br />
<strong>A380</strong> - <strong>New</strong> <strong>generation</strong><br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>experience</strong><br />
Greener, cleaner, quieter, smarter: the <strong>A380</strong> is a<br />
game-changer in terms of aircraft performance,<br />
cost efficiency and respect for the environment.<br />
<strong>A380</strong> operators can fly 525 passengers 8 500nm<br />
- 15 700km in unprecedented comfort. Meeting<br />
the most demanding noise and emissions regulations,<br />
compatible with existing airport infrastructures<br />
and with the lowest fuel consumption per<br />
seat in the large aircraft class, the <strong>A380</strong> defines<br />
<strong>new</strong> economic and environmental standards.<br />
The operators say it: the <strong>A380</strong> delivers on all its<br />
commitments. And since the entry into service in<br />
October 2007, the <strong>A380</strong> has proved to be a remarkable<br />
passenger magnet, boosting traffic. This<br />
is the <strong>A380</strong> effect which airlines talk about: higher<br />
cabin load factors and higher profits. From the <strong>new</strong><br />
icon in aviation.<br />
