  • Ich war an Bord

  • Ugh 14 hour flight. I'll take one of the beds please!

  • the usa should not liberate Europe in third war. Let them kill each other .

  • dont get taser The Rcmp and canada customs are arrongant and bullies ! if you are European you get harrassed and treated like a crimminal at the airport by Canada Customs and if you complain they say they will call the Rcmp ! Canada customs is mostly to blame for their arrongant nazi attittude ! welcome to Canada best place on Earth !...if you are hindu or asian the canada customs they ignore you but if you are white you are 100% harrassed !! call canada customs or send them email !

  • @sea5blue WHat does this have to do with the a380 assmunch? My god you fucking Canucks are idiots!!!

  • Much better than the ugly 747

  • uglier than the 747!

  • No matter what, I still like 747. Its just too bad ass.

  • hahah lol?

    shorter than a 747? no.....

    it is just 3 meters shorter than the 747 -8i by 3 meters. but thats only the tail section

    but 747-400 is shorter than the a380

  • fuck it...i'll buy one....

  • 14CPO

    Actually Air Austral plans on doing it. 840 strong from Reunion to Paris CDG. They confirmed their order recently.

  • nobody is using them to fly 800 passengers in economy setup. Thats very dissapointing.

  • A380 BLOWS!

  • y does the boeing 747 always make weird noise in the airconditioning or fan when it takes of or land like every 4 second? feels like an old man struggling for its breath.

  • shut the fuck up the 747 rules and is way popular than the a380 and will still have more customers than the a380! the 747-400 is tha best! =]

  • boeing--->quantity

    airbus---->quality

    boeing boing boing

  • Tu es jaloux

  • This A380 is going to beat the hell out of Boeing 747 and rest of its aircraft, good work France and Great Britain. Obama should throw the 747 Air Force One in the garbage or give it to a homeless person on the road as free home to live in. He should get the A380 with Rolls Royce engines, and travel the world in class.

  • No kidding, The 747 is an older model with well proven flight history. It is an excellent plane. Of course it will have a broader customer basis. The A380 is for a different market segment. Comparing these two is nonsense.

  • What the Fuck... He says that it's not as long as the 747, when Technically speaking, it's 3m longer than the 747-400. hahaha lol, American Trash as per usual

  • there are versions of it. this one is shorter. check your facts.

  • haha, lol, you perhaps need to check your facts.

    Check out the Wikipedia page on Boeing 747-400, and at Specifications, it says Length: 231 ft 10 in (70.6 m)

    Whilst the A380-800 Specifications, it says Length: 73 m (240 ft)

  • there are variations. you can't say an a320 is longer than a 737. it is longer than the -600, not the -900.

  • So which variation is longer than the A380-800?

  • its not airbus 380 its airbus a380

    get it right u americans

  • What the heck? Who cares what's better? The Boeing 747 has always been and still is an awesome aircraft ... and the Airbus A380 is definitely bigger and more modern inside, but hasn't proved it's longevity like the Jumbo yet.

    Cken007 why should Airbus go out of business? It's been around for eons too. The Concorde only went bust because it's market niche was too small ... it was sound otherwise ... the Paris crash was caused by debris on the runway, remember, not a mechanical fault.

  • that was an AA commercial made in 2001. someone used BA images where there were AA images.

  • A380 is not proven.

  • Comment removed

  • i born and open my eyes on the best and most beautiful plane in the world ( Boing 747 ).

  • 747 is completely doomed by A380

    Boeings are all crap, technology outdated

  • MrEwemek you are doomed and need a brain. The technology is the same. What is different?? The intruments, flight director, barometers and everything are standard on every aircraft. The only thing that has changed is the size and interior, no equipment changed. All technology are standard on each aircraft.

  • I know is a dream but I wish to see one on Mexico someday

  • it's just a matter of time before that AIRBUS COMPANY goes out of business just like the CONCORDE.

  • Boeing 747-400 is the best!!!!! face it you know it!

  • no the A380 is better admit

     it

  • kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk­kk, Im brasilian but I speak inglesh, i liked that report. :|

  • are you a boy?or gurl

  • Only stop in North America my backside. They stopped in JFK, SFO, and LAX.....

  • the boeing747 is ugly dhut up fighting temeraire

  • the 747 is larger wft no its not its smaller than the a380 wat a dick stupid commentater yanki

  • I want my oxygen back, please!!!

  • I really hope I'll fly with one off these planes some day

  • A380 is awesome!!!

  • lecialem juz nim z gdanska(poland) to germany super ! niezla frajda!polecam

  • nonono vancouver is canada

  • i flew on this plane from singapore to london great plane

  • wow what an ugl....i mean what a beautiful jet.

  • I mean ugly.

  • Actually, having 2 levels but shorter to a 747 is a great accomplishment. It shows how Europeans and French conception branch of EADS worked hard.

    Boeing took a hit leaving the market place to Airbus. An A380 ordered is 2 or 3 less 747 ordered. But still Airbus isn't making money out of it at the moment, with only 200 sold, they need 200 more to start earning dolars. Add that making planes in euros and solding it in dollars, is not a great deal at the moment !

  • french AND european?! i guess youve missed something

  • ... and *other* european teams ...

    Fixed.

  • :P thats what i want to hear xD

  • I know this is a video about the A380, but who is that "model" at 1:33. What a cutie! ;-)

  • Lol 787superhornet is jealous of us canadians :D

  • Americans are jealous :D:D lol

    "it is big, but not as big as ..." but, but but LOL

  • @martapersefone are you fucking retarded? this is a canadian tv news network you fucking idiot, make sure you get your facts before you open your cocksucking mouth you retarded cunt.....

  • @martapersefone Yeahhh... that's pretty pathetic... for Americans all that matters is size, always... LOL

  • a380 the uncrashable plane. they should call a380 the titanic of the sky. its not going to crash. its too big to crash. lets take out emergency doors cause they are cluttering the whold plane. we can put more seats!!

  • Airborn Ego

  • You can tell the yanks are jealous! ooo its not as long as the 747, shut up!

  • it's not shorter than a 747. its' shorter than the 747-8 but still several feet longer than the 747-400.

  • kerry was giving away her family to free Ireland...so that's why she was so hard on me...didn't want to be seen as a tramp on top of everything else? Thinking about the greater good?

  • Its obsolete compared to the suppressed technologies the US have had for decades. They want us to celebrate the burning of even more fossil fuels and the destruction of the planet and each other? Alternative clean energy is simply a danger to the corrupt status quo on this planet. We need to push for the truth, adn nothing but the truth. Love to you all.

  • It is so BIG!!!

  • That's what she said...

  • I'm flying to singapore on one of these bad boys tomorrow morning! I can't wait! I am certain that the trip will be much better than on a 747, I mean the 747s ancient now. First flown in 1969. This plane is state of the art technology.

  • A seat on a plane is a seat on a plane. Makes no difference if it's an A380, 747 or 737. When you're sitting in your economy seat do you know or care how old the plane is? Now if you're comparing first class to economy that's different. BTW the A380 is not a pretty plane to look at.

  • It is most likely that you flew onboard a 747-400 which made it's first flight in 1988 and what the 747 is capable of is still amazing! Besides don't forget that when the 747 rolled out it was about 3,5 times bigger than everything existing now with the Airbus A380, she only is about a half time bigger than the largest civil airplane. The 747 was much more of an achievment to me!

  • Very ugly plane. I assume Airbus will appoint a beautiful interior to contrast the walrus looking exterior.

  • for some its ugly for others its beautiful. I for one find it superbe.

  • Hey I'm British but I gotta admit..I still prefer the 747. It's gonna take up to my first flight in an A380 to change my mind. I judge good aircraft on my own personal experience. I've flown on the 747 a dozen times and each was absolute heaven. I was gonna wait for BA to have their A380's delivered but since that wont happen till about 2012, I'm gonna have to make an excuse to visit Singapore or Dubai, lol. So at the moment, for me...the 747 is still number 1.

  • This is an impressive looking aircraft no doubt.

    The problem with it is this. It was built and designed with government subsidies and so basically the project is little more than a Socialist job program first, and a competative aircraft a distant second. It sould come as no suprise that this thing is two years behind schedule and was built for an almost non-existant market.

  • This is the best palne i have seen

  • what about fighter jets? lol.

  • Yea mate the wings rule they're made in Filton, Bristol!!!! theres an a380 up there atm gunna go have a look tomorrow.

  • A lot of the ribs and other components are made in Filton but they are finally assembled at Broughton, near Chester.

  • Ah, isn't this great? YouTUBE enables all of us, Eu, Can, US, to come together and "bust each other's balls," to put it as eloquently as one contributor below. Perhaps aerial leviathans like the 380 can one day bring us all together en masse to fight about it in person. LOL. Everyone needs to get the chip off their shoulder.

  • "Yes it's big, but not as big as you might espect given all the pulicity the new airbus 380 has recieved. It is infact "shorter" than the boeing 747..." Why didn't he just said it wasn't North-Amercian.

  • It's pathetic. I don't hate the 747, I don't hate the Space Shuttle, yet they just can't SHUT THE FUCK UP. Rather than enjoying the technological beauty of a big ass heavier than air metal mass lifting up to the skies from human ingenuity those american (if they can be called that) have to bust our balls with their hate-whinning.

  • it wont have more capacity but you are correct about everything else. This plane looks fat and ugly because its short and the cockpit is not on the second deck which makes it look like a whale

  • u america clowns

  • jelous yanks -.-

  • yes they r

  • OMG! I saw the A380 in Oslo 2 days ago

  • I want to fly in one! It beat boeing good hehe. Nah, how about the dream liner.

  • american jealous? hehehhe

  • A380 is largest passenger in world after Boeing 747. B747 was largest in world since 1970 to between 2005 to 2007. Both A380 and B747 are awesome cool. A380 went service in now.

  • The A380 at 238 ft is actually longer than the Boeing 747-400. But its shorter than the Boeing 777-300 which is 242 ft long.

  • Yes, but does it blend?

  • I don´t know, but it´s longer. :-)

  • The reporter is wrong. It´s 2.5 meters longer than the 747-400.

  • I Don't know for sure if Pearson Int'l added a gates area, but I had just heard rumors that Pier F where it looks like a "Hammerhead" somewhere there might be able to park it, but like I said Im not certain...

  • Yes, but does it have a pool?

  • How the hell does it suck man?

  • A380 said you are suck.

  • Airbus A380 auf Premierenflug von Singapur nach Sydney 

    Singapur (dpa) - Der Airbus A380 ist zu seinem Premierenflug bei Singapore Airlines gestartet. Um kurz nach 2 Uhr deutscher Zeit hob das rund 500 Tonnen schwere Flugzeug in Singapur ab und nahm Kurs auf Sydney. Der Start wurde von dem Applaus hunderter Schaulustiger begleitet. An Bord des größten Passagierflugzeugs der Welt sind rund 470 Passagiere. Am Sonntag geht der A380 in den Linienverkehr zwischen Singapur und Sydney.

  • nice airplane but the ceos who they could on have their own private jets big jets.

    my problem is my stupid little place, a 747 can land there but biggest user is a Canadian rj so I guess we shall extend the runway and build an upper deck skyway to handle a plane that will never arrive here. Oh,well, newer taxes were needed anyway lol:)

  • Airbus has gone though five CEOs as multiple delays in the A380 program resulted in massive write-offs and a restructuring plan that foresees 10,000 job cuts over four years — not to mention billions of dollars in lost profit.

  • And what exactly is the deal with you posting the same thing five times? Nobody ever denied Airbus screwed up in the production of the A380, but that doesn't take anything away from the plane itself, which performs as advertised, or even better. And last time I checked, Boeing wasn't doing all too well on the 787 either...

  • Airbus originally projected it would break even on the A380 with its 270th delivery of the jet, but that break-even number has ballooned to 420 following the model's costly delay problems. AP says Airbus currently "has logged 189 orders or firm commitments for the plane."

  • What about the fact the 787 will suffer 2 years delays because of wings not being made on time?

  • Airbus has gone though five CEOs as multiple delays in the A380 program resulted in massive write-offs and a restructuring plan that foresees 10,000 job cuts over four years — not to mention billions of dollars in lost profit.

  • why would they bring it to vancouver? i know its alot closer to europe but they should bring it to TORONTO

  • Airbus has gone though five CEOs as multiple delays in the A380 program resulted in massive write-offs and a restructuring plan that foresees 10,000 job cuts over four years — not to mention billions of dollars in lost profit.

  • Vancouver is closer to Australia I think is what you mean, but I agree...if she had of flown into Toronto, there'd probably be A LOT more viewers and media. I believe Pearson Airport has even built a special gates area to handle the plane while parked at the new Terminal 1

  • Have they really? I would expect them too since many carriers that will be operating the A380 will fly to Pearson.

  • Airbus liefert A380 an Erstkunden aus.

    Heute 15.Oktober 2007 liefert Airbus den ersten A380 an den Startkunden Singapore Airlines aus. Ende Oktober soll das weltgrößte Passagierflugzeug in den Dienst gehen. :-)

    Wonderful! Let's see that PERFECT plane, a real beauty in service! :-)

  • Airbus has gone though five CEOs as multiple delays in the A380 program resulted in massive write-offs and a restructuring plan that foresees 10,000 job cuts over four years — not to mention billions of dollars in lost profit.

  • As far as Lufthansa is concerned: don't know if you've taken a look at their fleet and fleet plans, but they've bought pretty much EVERYthing Airbus has ever developed. The only Boeings left in their fleet are 737-300 and 737-500s (soon to be replaced with AIRBUS A319/320/321s) and 747-400s (to be replaced with a mic of 747-8 and AIRBUS A380). As far as the orders indicating LH is loyal to Boeing: they have 20 Boeings on order, and 87 Airbuses. Those numbers seem pretty clear to me...

  • Airbus has gone though five CEOs as multiple delays in the A380 program resulted in massive write-offs and a restructuring plan that foresees 10,000 job cuts over four years — not to mention billions of dollars in lost profit.

  • LOL. If you believe that the likes of AA and DL beat airlines like Qantas, Emirates and BA in the 'leading airlines' department, you'll believe anything. The only thing they 'beat' them in is size, and that's simply because of their larger home market. When it comes to profitability, service, and growth, they're nowhere near the others I've mentioned.

  • the a380 is going in philippines now oct12 2007 4|00 p.m.

  • the reporter is wrong he said tha the B747 is bigger in length when in fact the A380 is 239.3ft and the B747 is 231.10ft in length

  • EUROPE RULES!!!

  • No A380s have been delivered yet. Only time will tell if this aircraft will be an economic success. Boeing is betting it will not be. I hope so too. Aircraft Made in USA is the BEST in the world, from commercial to military.

  • First A380 will be delivered to Singapore Airlines next week.

    And you're stupid if you rely on Boeing advice and things said about "787 is better than the 380". This is not the same market (and even the A350 doesn't target the same market as thge 787).

    When I see how full the airplanes are theses times, I can only say myself it's a good idea to transport more people at a time (not to mention the fact it transports more people and cost less than a 747)

  • A380

  • Airbus sucks...A380 what a piece of junk

  • airbus a380 is THE king of the skies! fedex is really stupid to turn down a triple deck friegter.

  • Chinese Airlines are buying about 180 planes a 380 ! That's nice! :-) Fell sorry for Boeing :-)

  • AIRBUS FOREVER !

  • DAmmit look at this awesome Bird...EUROPE rules!!!

  • Sure! Boeing is owned!!!

  • Sometimes, I wonder why Americans are so proud of something they do not make. Like the Airbus A380.

    Funneh..

  • thats awesome im goign on one if i go on a holiday trip

  • cool i wanna fly in one of thous.

  • Airbus...

  • Notice how it didn't land at Seattle- the home of Boeing!

  • i wonder what it'll be like when this big plane crash into the WTC again, bigger plane..bigger explosion

  • You're stupid, you know that?

    (And the fact is, the WTC can't have been destroyed by the impact of airplanes, but that's not the debate).

  • a380 suck vive bombardier

  • *I think being * oops boeing lol

  • its abeast...my dad fits the beams a hydrolics on the 380's...Dreamliner suckz aswell...It doesnt make sense because firstly...why buy say 3 dreamliners wen u cud have one 380...and ud need 3 lots of staff (pilots etc).I think being are avin a paddy an showing up wat is a gd country (UK AN USA ROCK 4 LIFE)

  • Of course biggest is best. Thats why americans love huge bagels, huge soft drinks, huge...ya know whats, huge cars, huge cruise ships, huge houses, on and on.

  • Breath-taking but biggest ain't always best!!

  • Hey 747, say hello to your retirement...

  • NO WAY wait til the new 747 8I comes in that will out shine that fat ugly thing. that plane looks fucking shit

  • You look like fucking shit you looser, the A380 is awsome!

  • &zwj;<b>This video gives a distorted view of Vancouver, as in November 2006, the weather was extremely strange for Vancouver standards, with the below freezing temperatures + snow + wind. Snow generally does not arrive until January.</b>&nbsp;

  • Actually I thought Vancouver looked beautiful. Remember some of us rarely see snow so it looked great to us..

  • Well yeah, I admit its beauty, but this video doesn't really show it. To Americans, it'll appear as a stereotypical Canadian city, where it "seems" to be cold and snowy all year long. I do remember as well, the snow blanketed the city, making it look pure :)

  • what a beast!

  • WONDERFUL !

    Thank you Europa for another great inovation - as usual - real inovative things allways come from Europa! THIS plane will finally be a bestseller! Boing will find out :-)

  • пиздато!

    Airbus the best!

  • we are proud of it.

  • Охуенно... Люблю Ванкувер! =)

  • awesome plane, thnks for posting...

  • what is all the fuss is about with this A380? just another jumbo jet imo. its not flying faster, higher or further than any other passenger plane or breaking new ground with cutting edge technology. when was the last oil tanker have such a rave? Concorde is by far a more impressive plane. it achieve something that deem not possible at its time.

  • i presicelyy,extremely,and of course,agee with your comment,but concorde is also extremely dangerous due to crashes.only 16 concordes remain and all are out of service.

  • lol crashes?! Concordes only had ONE crash throughout its service. and it wasn't due to any fault of the aircraft but a blown tire (so partly its the tyre manufacture's fault) pierced the fuel tank. When you add up the mileage all the concordes have done, they r one of the safest planes on earth.

  • well sorry,ya dont have to take it so hard

  • A blown tyre from a lomp of metal that fell off a US plane!

  • Fireengineer, I have seen more Airbus products fly into Vancouver International with 'missing' pieces, than there are chopsticks in Shanghai. (AME, Air Canada, YVR).

  • It's a pity canadians think and act like americans

  • It's a pity you dont know too many (good) Canadians! ;)

  • lol i love the fact that one person puts a video about an aircraft landing in vancity on youtube; and people start right away comparing us with the US and crap like that

  • LONG LIVE EUROPE UNITED!FRANCE GERMANY UK ITALY SPAIN and the 22 others. This wonderful plane is the peace product!And it's just the biginning of the Europe RENAISSANCE!

  • They may break down more but airbus have on the whole a better safety record.(taking into consideration that boeing account for 80% of airline travel). I hope that for the sake of the european economy, that the A380 is a success.

  • there not bad but there a pain in the royal ass and expensive to maintain, they break down way to much and have way to many problems

  • Canadian news is so negative. Jeez.

  • Eat you heart out: This is from a November 1, 2006 newscast -- five months before Monday's Los Angeles landing.

  • The Dreamliner is just that....a dream. Boeing screwed up when they cancelled the Sonic Cruiser and delayed delivery of a competitive plane. At least Boeing still has war jets, subsidized by US tax dollars.

  • nice plane big plane, but coming from an AME (aircraft maintenance engineer) airbus are the biggest pain in the ass to ever get into the air

    most of us know this little saying

    "if its not boeing, its not going"

    i cant wait for there b787 dreamliner and there new 747-800

  • I think we have a case of national pride going on here... of course you are going to like boeings they are built in america. Give airbus a chance man... they're not that bad of an aircraft builder you know!!

  • GORGEOUS jet!!!

  • Foo Fighters learn to fly

  • The A380 has wingspan of 262Ft (the 747-400 is 211') length 239' (747 is 231') and height 79'(747 is 63').

    The A380 fits into the parking bays by a mere 18" but a lot of runways (150') need to be widened as the outer engines will overhang this by 15'.Most orders are for the RR Trent 900 giving around 76000lbs of thrust each, the first 707 engines were around the 10000lbs - truly a plane for the future,can't wait to fly in it!!

  • The A380 is definitly longer than a B-747. And this is just the "normal-version". The large-version A380-900 will exceed the current version about 9m and offer up to 960 seats. In a comfortable 3-class-version still 666 seats.

  • Can't wait to see the A380 landing for the 1st time in the United States.

  • to admit! the shape sucks!
