Seat configurations of Airbus A380
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Airbus A380 has two full-length decks of 49.9 metres (164 ft), one on top of the other. However, the upper deck has a slightly reduced usable length of 44.93 metres (147.4 ft) due to the curvature of the front fuselage and the front staircase. The widths of the main deck and upper deck measure 6.50 metres (21.3 ft) and 5.80 metres (19.0 ft) respectively. Passenger capacity varies with the seat configuration chosen by the operating airline.

Of the planes currently in service, the passenger capacity ranges from 379 passengers (4-class layout in Singapore Airlines) to 615 passengers (2-class layout in Emirates).[1][2] From late 2015, Emirates started operating planes seating 615 passengers in two classes for the Copenhagen route, the most ever seen, replacing the smaller Boeing 777. In total, 15 aircraft will use this configuration.[3][4][5][6] Airbus offered 11-abreast seats for delivery in 2017.[7]
Some airlines have speculated configuring the planes for higher seat numbers,[8] including a one-class layout seating 840 people.[9][10][11]
