Airbus will show off its A380 aircraft to the public tomorrow. Many political leaders will attend the opening ceremony of the new aircraft. The world's full double decker aircraft would rival long distance air transportation with Boeing's 747. The passenger version will be in service in 2006, while the freight version will be released in 2008.

The passenger version will have 555 seats, and it will be able to travel up to 15,000km. The freight version will allow up to 152 tons of goods, and it will be able to travel up to 10,400km.

Airbus has 14 A380 customers. The opening ceremony will occur at Jean-Luc Lagardere Final Assembly Line hall at Toulouse, France.
