The new Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 at Singapore Airport Singapore Airport was a good place to be today. The new Airbus A380 was docked at one of the "F" gates and (understandably) proved to be quite a star attraction after all the publicity that surrounded it's maiden voyage from Singapore to Sydney recently. What's incredible about the A380 is the sheer size of it. In the foreground of the picture on the right, compare the size of the two airport workers with the size of the A380. See what I mean?
