My photo report from first visit of A380 to Russia, including the pics inside the airplane.

The world’s most advanced and modern commercial airliner, Airbus A380, made its first ever visit to Russia. The A380 was scheduled to land on 16 th October 2009 at Moscow International Airport Domodedovo (DME) where it stayed till October, 17 when A380 continues its trip to Seoul for International Aerospace & Defense Exhibition. The visit demonstrated smooth and efficient A380 ground operations at DME airport and highlight the benefits for airports, airlines and passengers that the A380 offers.

The aircraft is one of Airbus flight test aircraft (MSN 004) fitted with sophisticated test instrumentation and used in the A380 flight test and certification program. The aircraft is currently used for flight testing in the scope of product development and integration of new innovative equipments as well as for airlines’ pilots training.

A380 is already setting new standards for air transport and the environment. In addition to offering unequalled levels of passenger comfort, space and quietness in the cabin, the A380 has unmatched levels of operating costs and fuel efficiency, consuming less than three litres per passenger per 100 kilometres. With a range of 8 200 nm / 15 200 km, it can seat 525 passengers in a standard three-class layout The A380 not only complies with today’s noise limits, it is also significantly quieter than any other large aircraft flying today.
