Adventures of Link: The A380 is Almost Upon Us
The debut of the massive Airbus A380 is less than two months away, and there's been plenty of buzz about the 555-passenger plane that's set to fly from Singapore to Sydney on October 25. (And, yes, Singapore Airlines is auctioning the seats for charity on eBay.)
Besides getting in to scrapes, the plane is at the heart of another pseudo-scandal: Back in July, a mystery buyer picked up one of the jets as a private plane. At the time, all Airbus would say is that the buyer was neither European nor American. Today, Le Figaro says (in French) that the buyer is Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich.
