World’s largest plane coming to Bengaluru on October 31

A380, the world’s largest and most spacious passenger aircraft, is coming soon to Namma Bengaluru.

Emirates Airlines will be deploying the jumbo jet on the busy Bengaluru-Dubai route from October 30 onwards, several years after the runway at the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) became compliant with Code F to receive the airliner. Code F aircraft are those with a wingspan of more than 65 metres but less than 80 metres. A380’s wingspan is 79.8 metres long.

Boeing 747 is the only other passenger plane under Code F.
