PETALING JAYA: Almost a decade after it was first ordered, the
world’s largest and fuel-efficient A380 aircraft finally landed on
Malaysian soil at 3.35pm yesterday.
It was a major advancement in air travel for Malaysia Airlines (MAS) as it joined the elite A380 club.
The
73m-long technological wonder can carry up to 494 passengers and offers
one of the best seating arrangements in the industry for its
first-class cabin, where the seats are as big as a single bed, measuring
40 inches by 87 inches.
