The Airbus A380 has long served as the backbone of premium long-haul fleets all across the globe. The aircraft, which is iconic for being the only full-double-deck aircraft to ever enter passenger service, can accommodate more passengers than pretty much any other model.

There is so much space onboard both decks that Middle Eastern legacy carriers, those which are traditionally the most interested in offering the flashiest services, can truly experiment with designs and configurations.
