Turning Around Airbus A380 For Departure In Changi Airport

The Airbus A380 is a true engineering marvel and an impressive sight in the airspace with its four massive engines and double-decked design. As the world's largest commercial airliner, this plane can seat approximately 500 passengers.

Compared to its smaller counterparts, the super jumbo requires specialised processes in operation. Other than increased manpower on-ground, there is also a special passenger loading bridge procedure to adhere to. Plane spotters and fellow passengers alike can go behind-the-scenes with us and observe how Changi Airport’s operators and ground handlers undertake this mammoth task.

The Airbus A380 contains three doors for passengers. This is why an extra third bridge is needed instead of the usual two. Individuals on the upper deck will access the plane via the pre-positioned Loading Bridge 3 with the help of our Passenger Loading Bridge Operators. Special hi-lifts are also used to transport your cargo and baggage to the upper decks of the Airbus A380 plane.
