| A380 LANDS AT JFK |
The world's largest passenger plane made its debut in the United States, as two of its Airbus' A380 super-jumbos touched down at JFK Airport. Simultaneously, the same aircraft also made it’s debut landing in Los Angeles. The first U.S. flights for the 555-seat, double-decker plane kick off a series of exercises to ensure that the giant aircraft is compatible with major U.S. airports, which have spent hundreds of millions of dollars in upgrades to accommodate it. JFK and Los Angeles Airport have already spent about $300 million to widen runways and provide special docking equipment for the plane, which has a wingspan of almost the length of an American football field. The A380 that landed at New York is scheduled for further flights to Chicago's O'Hare Airport and then went to Washington's Dulles Airport on March 25. |
