Award winning Singapore Airline announces the fourth route for the A380.

The world largest passenger jet has already made its mark on the Sydney and Tokyo routes and is flying to London twice a day.

The A380 flights will replace the existing Boeing 777-300ER.

Demand for this route has grown from both corporate and leisure customers and has lead to an un-environmentally friendly 10 trips a week. The A380 with its 471 seats against the Boeings 278 seats will be able to cut this down to a greener daily service.

“Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris is one of the busiest airports in Europe in terms of passenger traffic.  The A380, with its large seating capacity, is well placed to fly there.  With the aircraft’s substantial fuel burn reductions per seat kilometre, it also provides a cleaner, greener alternative for long haul travel,” said Mr Huang Cheng Eng, Singapore Airlines’ Executive Vice-President, Marketing and the Regions.

The new cabins will keep the Boeings maximised legroom and state of the art new features such as non intrusive reading lights and adjustable headrests.
