SIA revamps its Airbus A380 website after surge in interest

Airbus A380 launch customer Singapore Airlines has relaunched its internet microsite (pictured below) dedicated to the double-decker, reflecting the surge in interest in the aircraft following its appearance at Asian Aerospace. The Asian carrier released details of the website, based on Airbus's own A380 navigator, at the air show yesterday, where the second flight test aircraft MSN004 has been performing daily flying displays.

Such has been the interest among technorati aircraft enthusiasts, that the airline has decided to deploy a full-time resource to the dissemination of information on the aircraft destined for its Changi hub.

Yesterday at the show chief operating officer, customer John Leahy said Airbus only expects to sign two additional A380 customers this year. Initial deliveries to SIA are scheduled for late this year.
