Seat configurations of Airbus A380
| Industry | Aerospace |
|---|---|
| Products | Commercial aircraft |
The Airbus A380 is designed with two full-length decks, each extending 49.9 metres (164 ft). Due to the curvature of the fuselage and the placement of staircases, the upper deck’s effective length is reduced slightly to 44.93 metres (147.4 ft). The widths of the main and upper decks are 6.50 metres (21.3 ft) and 5.80 metres (19.0 ft), respectively. Seating capacity depends on the specific airline’s interior arrangement.
Configurations in service vary significantly, ranging from 379 seats in a four-class setup as seen with Singapore Airlines, up to 615 seats in a two-class arrangement operated by Emirates. Since late 2015, Emirates has deployed A380s configured for 615 passengers on its Copenhagen route, substituting Boeing 777 aircraft; this layout is used on 15 of their A380s. Airbus began offering an 11-abreast seating option starting with deliveries in 2017.
Certain carriers have considered ultra-high-density layouts, including a single-class configuration capable of accommodating as many as 840 passengers, though these concepts have largely been discontinued.
