Emirates Airbus A380-842, A6-EVH. The Airbus A380 is a large wide-body airliner that was developed and produced by Airbus. It is the world's largest passenger airliner and only full-length double-deck jet airliner. Airbus studies started in 1988, and the project was announced in 1990 to challenge the dominance of the Boeing 747 in the long-haul market. The then-designated A3XX project was presented in 1994; Airbus launched the €9.5 billion ($10.7 billion) A380 program on 19 December 2000. The first prototype was unveiled in Toulouse on 18 January 2005, with its first flight on 27 April 2005. It then obtained its type certificate from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on 12 December 2006. Due to difficulties with the electrical wiring, the initial production was delayed by two years and the development costs almost doubled. It was first delivered to Singapore Airlines on 15 October 2007 and entered service on 25 October. Production peaked at 30 per year in 2012 and 2014. However, after the largest customer, Emirates, reduced its last order in February 2019, Airbus announced that A380 production would end in 2021. 🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬🛫🛬 🛩 Aircraft Manufacturer: @airbus. 🛩 Aircraft Type: A380-800. 🛩 Aircraft Registration: A6-EVH | EK203/UAE8ER. 🛩 Company: @emirates. 🛩 Route: DXB - JFK. 📍 Location: Somewhere in Queens, NY. 📆 Date: 3/10/2023. 📸 Photo Captured by: © Franklyn Wilson @beeksphotos. 🛬 🛫 www.linktr.ee/beeksphotos 🛫 🛬 #avgeek #kjfk #instagramaviation #instagood #teamaviation #aviationlovers #corporatejets #businessjets #travel #aircraft #avporn #bizjets #aviationphotographyphotos #sintmaartenphotographer #privatejets #passionpassport #avgeekphoto #jetphotos #planespotting #aviationdaily #aviationphotography #emirates #ek203 #uae8er #airbus #a380 #a380800 #a6evh #3102023 #beeksphotos (at Far Rockaway Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CptSGRTsRbq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
