KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 15 (Bernama) -- The Airbus superjumbo A380, the world's largest airliner, will make a fly-pass over the Klang Valley this Friday on its journey back to Toulouse in Southern France.

 

It would pass over Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur City Centre and Subang between 9.30 am to 10.30 am at a considerably low altitude on Nov 18.

 

Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd, in a statement here Tuesday, said the airplane codenamed MSN001 would arrive at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) at Sepang on Thursday Nov 17.

 

The aircraft would depart the KLIA on Friday at 9.30 am for the fly-pass which would enable the public to view what is surely the aviation industry's flagship of the 21st century.

 

Malaysia Airlines had ordered six A380 super jumbo from Airbus. Each plane has a seating capacity of over 555 people.

 

The MSN001 is the first of five aircraft taking part in the flight-test campaign and this is its first long haul journey to Asia Pacific.

 

As a test aircraft, the cabin is bare of the normal passengers fittings and fixtures.

 

Instead, the cabin is fitted with extensive flight-test instrumentation, measuring equipment and ballast tanks that can be filled with water to simulate the weight of a full load of passengers and cargo.

 

Members of the public will be able to view the aircraft along the perimeter road of the Bunga Raya complex that leads to the Petronas Depot on Nov 17.

 

On Nov 18, members of the public will get a good chance to view the departure of the aircraft from the Viewing Hill, located at the Jalan Pekeliling of KLIA when the aircraft departs KLIA at 9.30am.

 

City folks in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Subang would get to glimpse the aircraft when it does its fly pass over these three areas before it heads back to its base in Toulouse, France.

 

The A380, which has the length of eight London buses end-to-end and with enough room on its wings to park 70 cars, heralds a new era in passenger travel.
