With up to 850 passengers - and a price tag of more than 300 million dollars the superjumbo certainly lives up to its nickname. And Dubai-based airline Emirates - is its biggest customer. It already has 15 in service - and will take delivery of 75 more over the next decade. But buying the giant planes is just the start.

That is a massive repair shop. It's like a whole different company.
