Singapore Airlines: New First Class Suite Launches
secondary seat, a full-sized bed, desk and personal storagespace. Four of these suites are in the form of two ‘double’
suites featuring a double bed. Qantas Airways’ first-class
seats feature a long flat bed that converts from the seat but
does not have privacy doors. Emirates Airline’s fourteen
first-class private suites have shared access to two ‘shower
spas’. First and business class passengers are offered snacks
and have shared access to a lounge with two sofas, in
addition to a first-class-only private lounge.
The Airbus A380 is designed to make travelling more
comfortable for the passenger. The aeroplane includes
very efficient air filters, which refresh the air in the cabin
every three minutes helping passengers feel fresher both
during and after the flight. Also, the noise in the cabin is
lower than any other existing aircraft, which helps reduce
tiredness and fatigue.
The Airbus A380 is also environmentally friendly.
Its engine emissions are well below international limits,
contributing to improved air quality around the airports it
serves. It also produces less than 75 grams of carbon dioxide
per passenger kilometre contributing to reduced greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere. The A380 also consumes less fuel
than most jet aeroplanes, making it not only a bigger, but in
many ways, a better aeroplane.
he new Airbus A380 is the largest passenger jet that
has ever been built. It can hold more passengers
and cargo than any other commercial aeroplane,
and most airports actually have to be redesigned in order
to provide room for it. Even though the first designs of this
giant aeroplane appeared back in 1994, it did not make its
first commercial flight until October of 2007, from Singapore
to Sydney, Australia, with Singapore Airlines. This long
design period allowed the new Airbus jet aeroplane to be
perfected technologically as well as practically. It has since
been bought by Emirates Airlines as well as Qantas Airlines,
and more and more airlines are expressing interest.
The Airbus A380 is nearly 240 feet long and 260 feet
wide, from wing to wing. Because of its incredible size, it
can seat up to 840 passengers. However, since the seating
is divided into first class, business class and economy class,
and each class has different seating arrangements, a total
of 555 passengers can be seated. In general, more space
means broader seats, more personal storage and better
head room in all three classes. There are two floors on the
Airbus A380, the upper including business and economy
class, and the lower including more economy seats as well
as first-class seats. Singapore Airlines offers twelve private
first-class suites on its A380, each with one full and one
