31. First Airbus A380

World's first commercial Airbus A380 landed in Singapore after a 12 hour flight from Toulouse, France.

The SIA plane was given a water spray welcome on arrival.

On hand to greet was their Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and about 400 guests.

Speaking at the welcoming ceremony, the Premier said SIA's success is a triumph of the ingenuity, hard work and spirit of the people. It is also a source of pride and symbol of the nation's relentless drive for excellence.

SIA has ordered 19 Airbus A380 of which five will be delivered next year. The double decked, largest aircraft in the world offers greater efficiency, lower fuel emissions and less noise.
