Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 passenger plane is parked at Sydney international airport, 26 October 2007. The Airbus A380, the largest airliner ever built, successfully completed its maiden commercial flight 25 October, heralding a new era in aviation after months of delays and massive cost overruns. The superjumbo, a gigantic double-decker that can carry more than 850 people, winged its way in style as 455 passengers enjoyed champagne and caviar on the historic flight from Singapore to Sydney.
