A380 Benefits

• Higher capacity35% more passengers (passenger aircraft)29% more cargo payload (freighter aircraft)50% more cargo volume (freighter)

• Massive gains in economics15% lower cost/seat20% lower cost/pound of cargo

• Longer rangeMore payload on critical routesNew non-stop markets, simplified networks

• Passenger comfortMore space per passenger

A more spacious cross section…

… for almost 50% more cabin floor volume

Internationally recommended balanced approach to airport noise reduction

• Optimisation of high lift systems

• Acoustic treatment of nacelles

Airframe/NacellesAirframe/Nacelles

Technology for lower noise

• New high by-pass ratio engines

A380 Automatic Noise Abatement Departure Procedure (NADP)

• A380 has a new automated function to handle the aircraft according to a noise optimal fligth path taking into account the individual airport constraints and areas not to be exposed

• Real-time system allows the aircraft to follow best flight path in all all adverse ambient conditions, presented to the pilot shortly before take-off

Take-off: MTOW, Sea level, ISA+15

The A380 offers better take-off and landing performance than the 747-400

Shorter distances mean less noise exposure outside the airport boundaries
