THE world's largest passenger jet, the Airbus A380, arrived today in Bangkok, the first leg of its four-city Asian tour, as the European aero giant aimed to expand growth against competitor Boeing.
The double-decker plane landed at Bangkok's glitzy Suvarnabhumi Airport from Toulouse, southern France, where the European plane maker is headquartered, a Thai public relation firm for Airbus said.
The super jumbo will make a round trip from Bangkok to Thailand's northern tourist hub, Chiang Mai, tomorrow then fly to Hanoi on Sunday.
The A380 will be a showcase of Asia's largest air show in Hong Kong as it is expected to fly across the city's famous Victoria harbour on Monday. The plane will then arrive on Wednesday in Seoul, the last stop of the Airbus promotional tour.
Singapore Airlines is set to become the first to fly the A380 on October 25 with a flight from Singapore to Sydney.
An online auction for that flight is under way, with bidders offering thousands of dollars for coveted seats on the first commercial flight of the super jumbo.
