*Travel News Asia*	*16 August 2005*

Singapore Changi Airport today received its newest aircraft - a four by four metre scale model of the new Singapore Airlines A380. The model was unveiled in gatehold room F31 in Terminal 2, the airport’s first A380-ready gatehold room, by Singapore Minister of State for Finance and Transport, Mrs Lim Hwee Hua.

With a length of 72.7 metres, wingspan of 79.8 metres and a height of 24.1 metres, the A380 is the largest commercial aircraft ever to be built.

Singapore Airlines has 10 A380 aircraft on firm order and 15 on option. The aircraft will first be used on the Kangaroo route between Singapore, Sydney and London.

The Singapore Airlines A380 will be designed to accommodate less than 480 seats in a three-class configuration, although at its full capacity, the aircraft can hold 555 seats in the same layout.

The model aircraft will be on display along the main shopping belt within the transit area of Terminal 2 at Singapore Changi Airport.
