Etihad Airways will start flying its A380 double-decker on the popular Abu Dhabi–New York JFK route from April 22, 2024.

Emirates Airline released another video, explaining the behind-the-scenes story of how the viral Burj Khalida-A380 advertisement was shot,
Airbus performed the final pre-flight test for its A380 superjumbo.
Though popular, Airbus could never make money on this $25 billion project
The decision to halt production of the A380 superjumbo is the final act in one of Europe's greatest industrial adventures and reflects a dearth of orders by airline bosses unwilling to back Airbus's vision of huge jets to combat airport congestion.
Orders from Emirates, the main customer of the supersize aircraft, have stalled over the past two years.
The aircraft carrying 496 passengers and 24 crew had taken off from Paris bound for Los Angeles and was several hours into the flight when the incident occurred
In April 2015, Airbus selected Rolls Royce for the lucrative deal to provide the engines for 50 of its A380s that was worth a record at the time of USD 9.2 billion (8.8 billion euros).
The ruling is part of a series of tit-for-tat transatlantic complaints about aircraft subsidies that together make up the world's largest trade dispute, still raging after 12 years of bitter arguments over support for Airbus and its rival Boeing.
Showering fulsome praise for the Modi government's Make in India campaign, Airbus said it's making a large number of products in the country, either directly or through its supply partners, where collectively more than 5,000 people are employed.
The company, which also makes military jet engines, propulsion systems for ships and power systems used by oil and gas firms, said 1,300 people had left so far under a plan that foresees 2,600 job cuts.
British Airways is also looking to expand its footprint in the country and add more aircrafts to the fleet.
Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal has bought a USD 485 million "flying palace" and will soon take delivery of the world's first customised A380 superjumbo. Prince Alwaleed, estimated to be worth around USD 21.3 billion, is expected to get delivery of the world's biggest private jet next year.
Even though there are reports of niggling problems with Airbus’ A380, executive vice president, Kiran Rao, tells CNBC-TV18 that these are only teething problems.
