HUGE FLEET: Emirates boasts the largest fleet of Superjumbos with 59 A380s.

When the world’s largest passenger airliner took to the skies 10 years ago on April 27, the double-decker jet was hailed as the next generation in air travel. 

The specs of the Airbus A380 were – and remain – impressive in scope: a maximum seating capacity of 853; two passenger decks equal to three single tennis courts; and a take-off thrust equal to the horsepower of 2,500 family cars.
