Airbus reveals A380 cabin-stairs option
Airbus has unveiled the latest in a series of cabin upgrades for the A380, which together will allow airlines to add around 80 more seats and boost revenues, the manufacturer said. Airbus said it was developing a range of “cabin enablers,” with the latest the “New Forward Stairs” (NFS) option which it unveiled at the Aircraft Interiors Expo. “It’s based on the principle of adding seats without compromise on comfort,” said Airbus. New cabin enhancements should free up enough cabin floor space to increase seating from the average of 497 seats on A380s currently in operation to 575 in 4 classes, significantly increasing revenues for airlines, Airbus said. Other A380 cabin enablers include a combined crew-rest compartment, an 11-abreast economy layout on the main deck and 9-abreast premium economy on the main deck. <br/>
