Barely 2 months left to A380 by SIA


Taken from: http://www.fcmtravel.com/images/SA_A380.jpg

Barely 2 months left to feel the power and beauty of Airbus A380. To be first flew by Singapore Airlines, best airport and airline in the world for 12 consecutive years. Able to see my country to first fly this enormous aircraft makes me proud. Though it was too bad that I wasn't able to buy tickets to catch this plane amongst the firsts in the world, also citing that no $$ to get this ticket, but I will not hestitate to make a trip down to the beach near Changi Airport and outside the heavily-fenced runaway to catch the landing and departure of the plane.

A double-decked plane and ability to carry up to 550 passengers. However, SIA allows only up to around 350 just for safety and also allow more extra weight for other stuffs. The delivery of the plane to SIA was postponed for near 1 year due to faulty wiring and other internal problems in Airbus. But it's worth the wait. Besides SIA also ordered new Boeing airplane called Dreamliner 787. Expecting to arriving later this year or next.

Hope that those taking this flight will enjoy it.
