The Airbus A380 is the largest commercial jet ever built, powered by four engines and set across two full-length decks.

Typically configured to carry over 500 passengers, the A380’s sheer size and efficiency have enabled the quadjet to remain competitive in a long-haul market increasingly dominated by twinjet widebodies.
