Having entered commercial service in 2007, the A380 was Airbus’ solution to compete against its American counterpart, Boeing, and its 747 program, within the space of high-capacity, long-range aircraft.

While changing market trends and other external factors affected the type’s success with most customers, it remains a passenger favorite even 20 years after its entry into the market.
