The Airbus A380 has slowly become an icon of modern long-haul travel, as it is the only full double-deck passenger jet ever to enter service. It remains the closest thing commercial aviation has to a floating flagship. The aircraft’s job is not just to cram in passengers. Rather, the aircraft’s impressive cabin volume gives carriers the ability to build experiences with larger premium cabins, wider aisles, social spaces, and features that simply do not fit on smaller widebody jets. This is why the aircraft remains a fan favorite, even in an industry that has increasingly shifted towards twin-engine aircraft. Nonetheless, the Airbus A380 remains an important tool for certain carriers, and this is no more true for any airline than Dubai-based legacy carrier Emirates.
