Emirates unveils new Airbus A380 which can carry 615 Passengers

Emirates has reconfigured its new Airbus A380-800 planes to hold the most seats ever for an airliner.

Already the world’s largest passenger plane, the new two-class A380 will hold a staggering 615 passengers in business and economy – but travellers in so-called economy class will not lose any legroom inside Emirates' overhauled cabin.

The luxury Gulf carrier has made room for 130 additional economy seats, or 13 rows with 10 seats in each, by scrapping the spacious first class cabin and trimming 18 flat-bed seats from business class.
