Nature has clever ways of balancing whatever so called progress we make..This Airbus is going to guzzle thousands of liters of fuel every hour...Such big rooms in an aircraft ? I thought planes were meant for travelling long distances and not for merrymaking. India's rich will again flaunt their wealth by spending on these first class cabins...Alas this is what is sadly called development !!!!

Hmm- Jihadists will probably plan an attack on such big planes. Imagine killing many more hundred more accolades to Allah.. I heard it takes more than hour just to get off the plane, which can take easily 800 people. Any emergency, getting out of the plane will be a nightmare.
Avoid flying in such a behemoth- for safety reasons.

excusez moi! perhaps you may not have heard the real safety figures. in an actual test conducted by Airbus on a real A380, 868 people left the aircraft in just 78 seconds. I am afraid that your 1 hour time is wrong!!!

did u read this ?? "Despite its ability to carry 35 per cent more passengers than its competitor, the A380 burns 12 per cent less fuel per seat - reducing operating costs and minimising its effects on the environment at the same time through fewer emissions."
