Since last 40 years, Boeing 747 was the largest aircraft. Now, this new one A380, is much bigger than 747. There is 35 percent more space to the passengers and more people will be able to travel now. 

This Airplane, A380 has the very latest technologies for materials, systems and industrial processes and meets all the international certification requirements. It offers more seating and more available floor space than its closest competitor; it is more comfortable, with wider seats and aisles. You can also stretch your legs and access to lower-deck amenities. The A380’s modern technology and economies of scale provide 15 per cent lower seat-mile costs than today’s most efficient aircraft. Consequently, the A380 offers passengers luxury travel at much more affordable prices. 

The aircraft manufacturing company’s marketing director is David Velupillai, and he says, “It is a myth carried out by Boeing that the future is in point-to-point flying. In fact it is now bringing back the phased-out 747 simply because it is the hubs that are driving growth in the sector.”  

He adds: “We have designed this aircraft to be very quiet with noise insulation as part of the conscious designing.” In India, the Airbus is confident that it will help lessen the crowd at metro airports by absorbing future passenger growth. 

Sanjay Sharma, who is a senior analyst in Airbus’ marketing department says, “Emirates, Lufthansa and Singapore Airlines would definitely want to bring the aircraft to Indian metros. The airports have to be compatible then. In any case, the Mumbai and Delhi airports will have 10 two-tier aerobridges each by the year 2010.”  

Sharma adds that point-to-point travel and business travel is not absolute and is not possible for all routes. 

They want to give choice to both, the traveler and also to the airline, to combine their routes in such a way that it serves both the purposes.

time to go for a holiday! yupeee! hip hip hurray!

We love to read her books. And now the seventh and last Harry Book called ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ will be in released on July 21^st. 

I know that two characters will die in the seventh book of the potter series, but I cannot give you any clues on who that will be. 

This is because JK Rowling appealed to people to leave the ending of the final Harry Potter book as a surprise and not spoil the mystery for fans of the best-selling series about the boy wizard 

Actually there was a note on April 28 on fan site, the ‘leaky Cauldron’, saying that it received ‘spoiler’ emails from people claiming to know the contents of ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.’  

But it is a secret, so don’t you ever tell! 

And do you know that the books will be printed on paper that contains a minimum of 30 percent post-consumer waste fiber? 

 Yes, it is true! 

The statement added that 65 per cent of the 16,700 tons of paper used in the printing will be certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, a Washington-based civic group that promotes sustainable forest management.   

Scholastic said its decision to "invest in environmentally preferable paper" in printing the 784-page tome marked a "significant step in the company’s ongoing commitment to responsible environmental stewardship."   

The book is to be the final installment of J K Rowling’s massively popular series featuring the schoolboy wizard.   

The first six books in the Potter series have sold more than 300 million copies worldwide and been translated into 63 languages, making Rowling, 41, Britain’s highest-earning woman.   

And let us all who have, grown up with Harry, to embark on the last adventure. 

Come on!
