Congratulations to all of you on the A380. I look forward to many years of flying on your amazing conceptional aircraft. I hope that the buyers, unlike the original 747, with the upper deck lounge, don't follow commercial greed and take out all the recreational features and have it crammed with 800+ seating. In its planned concept, flying on the A380 will at last be an experience. Viva !

'When the skies were made, the birds took their flight.' But no one knew that the Airbus Industry would rule the skies of the world one day. The A380 is coming in the near future. No one can disagree with my statement; no doubt it is true. The only airliner in the world which is capable to travel the farthest and carry the most passengers around the globe. Airbus A380, we welcome you to the skies. May your journey be the most amazing one in the aviation industry. Regards, Saad Cheema.

Saifulnizam Saion - Singapore - 19 Jan 05

Airbus, you have achieved the impossible. You saw through the entire construction program, even with budget downfalls and heavy criticism from parts of the aviation community. You also converted me from a Boeing fan to an Airbus fan. The A380 is magnificent. Thank you Airbus.

I believe we are about to see a new era in airtravel, just as we did with the introduction 707 and 747 and I believe the A380 will herald and dominate that era. I can only hope that this pushes the US aviation industry to compete. Air travellers will be the ultimate winners.
