AirBus is unveiling its 555 passenger A380 on Tuesday, and so far, the company says sales have been above the company's expectations. For 2 years in a row, AirBus has been selling more airplanes than rival company Boeing.
The new plane has two decks, four engines, four aisles, and it will be unveiled in Southern France this Tuesday. On March 31st, it will have its maiden voyage. The plane weighs 308 tonnes.
The headache for the company is costs since they overbudgeted the cost to develop the plane and came up with a plane that weighs more than its predecessors. AirBus maintains that it will improve fuel efficiency but many wonder how, given the weight.
