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.
