Airbus and Singapore Airlines have agreed to a delivery timetable for the first A380 aircraft.

The aircraft is planned for handover by Airbus to Singapore Airlines on October 15 at a ceremony in Toulouse, France. It will be configured with 471 seats in three classes: Economy, Business and the new Singapore Airlines Suites: a class beyond First.

Within a few days of delivery, the aircraft will fly to Singapore's Changi Airport: the world's first A380 home airport.  There will be a short period set aside for crew and ground staff familiarization. World aviation history will be made when the Singapore Airlines A380 makes its First Flight – SQ380 – to Sydney's Kingsford Smith Airport on October 25, and returns to Singapore on October 26.

Singapore Airlines Chief Executive Officer, Mr Chew Choon Seng, said the delivery would mark the beginning of a new chapter for the aviation industry.

Seats across all three classes will be auctioned on the global online marketplace, eBay.  There will be plenty of seats put to auction, allowing many opportunities for travelers keen to be part of history to join the First Flight experience.
