The Airbus A380-800 is a multilevel, four turbofan engine, wide-body aircraft and one of the largest aircraft in the world in terms of seating capacity. Most notable for its ‘double-deck’ or ‘second-level’, the A380 is the first passenger plane in the world to have two full levels of passenger seats. It's significant capacity allows for unique cabin designs to be featured such as bars or common areas alongside ultra-premium passenger features such as a fully enclosed private suite complete with a living space, washroom, and a bedroom. This aircraft has been used at congested airports as it can serve the equivalent of two flights in one. Conversely, airlines have used the upper level exclusively for low density, first class and/or business class seating. The A380 is no longer in production and is designed to operate on long routes with very high demand.
