The size of Airbus A380 is hard to comprehend.

We all know that it’s massive, but it’s one thing to know the fact and it’s another thing to see with your own eyes.

Somebody filmed an Airbus A380 on a runway next to other planes.

And the difference is incredible.

The size of Airbus A380

Obviously all aircraft look big, but it’s all a matter of perspective.

A while back, somebody film a Qantas Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner at an airport, taxiing right next to other smaller planes, and the Boeing already looked gigantic.

The Qantas Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner is absolutely massive, but the crazy thing is the 787-9 isn’t even the largest airliner in the world.

Even so, it towered over most aircraft at an airport.

This Airbus A380 is even larger than that, as we can see from the clip shared to TikTok by a user who goes by ‘germanaviationtv’ and reposted on Instagram.

The biggest aircraft in the world

There are a lot of gargantuan passenger planes in the world, but the Airbus A380 is the largest.

It’s a wide-body airliner, and it is the only full-length double-deck jet airliner in the world.

Depending on how airlines choose to configure it, this massive aircraft can accommodate up to 850+ passengers.

Imagine that.

By contrast, the Boeing 747, which was not exactly the smallest aircraft in the world, could ‘only’ accommodate up to 660 passengers.

The thing is, the Airbus A380 is theoretically available as a private jet as well.

All you have to do is call Airbus and tell them you want a business jet version of it, and they might say yes.

Provided you’ve got about $600 million to spend on it that is.
