The world's largest airliner, the Airbus A380, landed at
Guangzhou's Baiyun International Airport in south China's Guangdong
province on Tuesday morning, kicking off its weeklong trip
throughout the country.
After staying in Guangzhou for 29 hours, the jumbo airliner will
visit Shanghai on Wednesday afternoon and then fly on to Beijing
the next day.
Unlike its trial flight to China last year, Airbus will operate
demonstration flights and showcase a fully-equipped and decorated
A380. Some lucky Chinese passengers will have the chance to take a
trial flight in the airplane, the report said.
The A380 is capable of carrying 519 passengers. In addition to
its first-class, business-class and economy-class sections, there
also are passenger reception areas, a bar and a lounge room on
board the huge monster.
A report from Sina.com said that the air inside the passenger
cabin is updated every three minutes and lighting can be adjusted
based on the passenger's need.
To date, China Southern Airlines has ordered five A380s.
