Air France operates a fleet of 10 A380 ( Air France )
The movement of passengers at Brazilian airports was lower in 2015 and is expected to further decrease this year, but this has not been reason for some airlines leverage to promote their services with the Airbus A380, the largest aircraft in the world passengers. After of land in Guarulhos in November last year , in a single flight byEmirates Airline , now it is the turn of the Galeao Airport to receive the giant, but only at the time of theOlympics in August.
The airline's time will be Air France, which plans a number of extra flights to Rio de Janeiro during the sporting event. The A380 with number 444 flight will also be unique: will arrive on August 22, a Monday, at 8:30 am and depart back to Paris at 10 o'clock, already numbering 445. On that day, the two Airbus floors replace a Boeing 777-300 offering 516 seats in three classes.
This means an increase of 88% in the supply of seats and, of course, the more generous interior space and the experience of flying one of the most exclusive handsets in the world.
The information contained in 'hotran' report with flight data provided by ANAC, the National Civil Aviation Agency, which will still have to approve the change. Something that should not cause problems, after Tom Jobim, as it is officially called the International Airport of Rio de Janeiro, already has authorization to operate the two-story quadrirreator - Guarulhos, in contrast, had to still undergo changes to accommodate the jet.
No demand
At the height of the air movement growth in Brazil, several companies have shown desire to put the A380 on route to the country: Lufthansa, Emirates and Air France were some of them. The French company, however, had already revealed plans to operate the Airbus to Rio, but the weak current demand slowed this momentum. The same happened with Emirates that despite isolated flight last year, said he did not see the need to use the A380 to São Paulo.
