Singapore Airlines to Take Delivery of Airbus A380 at World Travel Market 2006

Visitors to World Travel Market this year in November will be able to catch a remarkable sight of the new giant double-decker Airbus A380, the world´s largest passenger aircraft.

Singapore Airlines (SIA), attending the business to business event for the international industry for the first time, will take delivery of its aircraft in the same month as World Travel Market is held at ExCeL London.

More than 48,000 delegates are expected to gather at World Travel Market between November 6 and 9.

The carrier will use the aircraft on its first commercial flight in December on the Kangaroo route between London, Singapore and Sydney.

Fiona Jeffery, Managing Director of World Travel Market said she was pleased and proud that Singapore Airlines had chosen the event to unveil this flying miracle.

“While the travel industry knows that SIA will be the first carrier to fly the aircraft to London Heathrow, the on-board product has been shrouded in secrecy”, she said.
