Airbus is a big hit

AIR AUSTRAL, based in Saint Denis (La Réunion), has ordered two Airbus A380s, the aircraft to be fitted out with a mind boggling 840 seats.  Think of three times as many boarding next time you fly on a nearly full Boeing 747.  Administratively La Réunion is one of the overseas departments of France.  It is in the southern part of the Indian Ocean, about 120 miles east of Madagascar.  The A380 will be expected to take around 11hrs 30mins for the flight to Orly.  This new order brings the commitments for A380 to 202 with 20 delivered to four airlines. www.air-austral.com
