I was on th Emirates website,
The Emirates A380 promises customers in all classes a whole new travel experience* Designed to transport passengers on long-haul journeys in unmatched comfort, the Emirates A380 boasts First Class Shower Spas, a spacious Onboard Lounge, and an award-winning ice inflight entertainment system offering over 1,000 channels of movies, music and games on-demand in all classes.
- The Emirates A380 burns up to 20% less fuel per seat than today's largest aircraft This is the most significant advancement in reducing fuel burn and emissions in four decades Low fuel burn means lower C02 emissions. The Emirates A380 produces less than 75g of C02 per passenger kilometre, almost half of the European target for cars manufactured in 2008 Emirates A380s will progressively feature digital inflight magazines, entertainment guides and shopping catalogues, saving 2kg per seat or almost one tonne per aircraft Emirates A380s, which offers more space per passenger in all classes, will also meet ICAO's gaseous emissions standards by a substantial margin We will comfortably meet current Stage Three and proposed Stage Four noise level standards Our new Emirates A380 maintenance facilities in Dubai are state of the art, efficient buildings A380s feature lightweight materials that account for 25% of its structure Our emissions components ' such as NOx ' will be well under the regulated 'cap four' rule Emirates is working with Airbus to further reduce weight of our future A380s Larger aircraft mean less takeoff and landings (in passenger terms, some Emirates A380 versions would be the equivalent of flying up to seven smaller aircraft types)
- Emirates average fleet age is less than half that of many European airlines, meaning newer technology and efficiency breakthroughs characterise our aircraft.
