I like how she says ‘that really thick Australian accent’ while making the most inaudible choking American accent ever

Nice to see the A380 picking up speed in the Aviation Industry. Ever since I watched a documentary special of the aicraft in Discovery Channel (Worlds Biggest Airliner: Building the A380) I've been hooked by it. In fact I've flown it in a sim (X-Plane v9) and I can say it's a lot easier to fly (and LAND I might add) than a 747.

I love that the guy says that the aircraft is quieter than a 747 during the loudest moments of the aircraft during reverse thrust and as soon as the engines go to idle, so we can really hear how quiet the aircraft is, he starts talking again.

Yes they did upgrade the the terminal & the runways, The Melbourne upgrade went for 24 hours a day because it's the only 24 hour airport in Australia.

No if you go to the Melbourne airport's website & the Melbourne direct website you will see that it is the only 24 hour airport in Australia as all the others have noise restrictions.

Sounds like the lady announcer said Canadian arriving right at the start showing the Qantas A380...also quieter because the A380 only use reverse thrust on both inboard engines.

@EuroPiIot 15 years ago

Yeah I think so too. The 787 might be a lot cheaper per plane/km. However, the A380 is a whole lot cheaper per passenger/km and that's a great deal for both passengers and airliners.

Its now 14 a380 flights a week.
@tangokl 15 years ago

Thats because the a300 is a very old aircraft from the 1970's
