Singapore Airlines plans to begin the first commercial service of the Airbus A380 and will unveil its cabin design for the new superjumbo jet, according to Subhas Menon, the airline's vice president for the Americas. In a passenger evacuation test required for regulatory certification of the A380 jet, Airbus said it managed to get 873 passengers and 20 crew members off one of its new double-deck jumbo aircraft within the required 90 seconds. Airbus said that only half of the aircraft's 16 exits were used to empty the jet.
