Singapore gets fourth A380

Singapore Airlines took delivery on Saturday of its fourth Airbus A380 superjumbo, the world’s biggest airliner.

Airbus spokeswomen said the double-decker plane, the fourth to leave the production line, had taken off from Toulouse and was due to enter service in mid-May between Singapore and Tokyo.

Singapore became the first airline to operate the A380 when it entered service last October following an 18 month delay due to production problems.

Airbus has said it will deliver a total of 13 A380s this year.
