Airlines took delivery on Saturday of its fourth Airbus A380
superjumbo, the world's biggest airliner.
Airbus spokeswomen said the double-decker plane, the fourth to
leave the production line, had taken off from Toulouse and was due
to enter service in mid-May between Singapore and Tokyo.
Singapore became the first airline to operate the A380 when it
entered service last October following an 18-month delay due to
production problems.
