Airbus A380 makes first commercial flight to Paris
The world's biggest passenger jet, the Airbus A380, has made its first commercial flight to Paris when a Singapore Airlines flight arrived at Charles de Gaulle airport. But the official welcoming ceremony was cut back because of the loss of an Air France plane with 228 passengers on board which had been due to land at the same airport on Monday morning. French Ecology Minister Jean-Louis Borloo, who is in charge of transport affairs, canceled his planned appearance at the Airbus welcome. Singapore Airlines already runs A380 flights to Sydney, London and Tokyo. The flight left Singapore on Monday at 2140 GMT and arrived in Paris at 0440 GMT on Tuesday. It was to leave on a return flight later on Tuesday. Among its passengers will be members of the French rugby union team which is leaving for a tour of the Pacific.
