If everything proceeds as per plan, Singapore Airlines is to take delivery of the world’s first commercial A380, the giant aircraft manufactured by Airbus, on October 15 at a ceremony in Toulouse, France, and launch its first commercial flight, which will be from Singapore’s Changi Airport to Sydney’s (Australia) Kingsford Smith Airport, on October 25. The return flight to Singapore will be on October 26. The seats for all three classes in the aircraft wi ll be auctioned on the global online marketplace, eBay. SIA sources hope that the response to the auctions, which will provide travellers with opportunities to be part of the historical flight, will be good.
