At 652 seats, Transaero's A380s could top all others
When Transaero Airlines takes delivery of its first Airbus A380 in 2015, the Russian carrier's superjumbo jet may end up having the highest seating capacity of any commercial passenger jet in the world. (www.usatoday.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

Sounds like airbus is not doing well with the 380: http://www.smh.com.au/travel/travel-news/big-bird-fails-to-take-off-airbus-a380-sales-slump-20131024-2w3k0.html
at present what is the number of number of seat have been fitted into an A380"
I cannot imagine where I'd go with 651 Russians. Oh the agony.
Vodkaland. A dream come true.
The A380 was originally designed and promoted as a mass people carrier. It still needs to sell 250 plus aeroplanes to break even. The initial plan was to seat more then 800 people but progress was hindered by offering too many options and layouts. Kind of scary to have even 652 people in one aeroplane, even more scary in the Russian weather and the history of Russian pilots, still many coming from military backgrounds.
