The Boeing 747 since 1969 has always kept the top of the charts in passenger transportation. It can carry between 416 and 524 people depending on its sitting configuration. It is not only bigger than others, but it can also fly further and gives the lowest operating cost in terms of passengers per fuel. At its maximun passenger capacity it can fly for 8,400 miles. The latest 747 is the 747-400. The "Jumbo", as the 747 is nicknamed, made also history because it was the first plane with two stories.

Currently under construction, the Airbus A380, the world’s only twin-deck, four-aisle airliner, will be the largest, most advanced, and efficient commecial airliner ever conceived. Designed in close collaboration with major airlines, airport and airworthiness authorities, the A380 brings new standards of comfort and better economics in an aircraft that is more environmentally responsible. Whilst doing all of this, it allows growth and reduced congestion from today's airports with minimum change. Most importantly, the A380 introduces competition to the large aircraft sector, completing the Airbus product portfolio. The A380, which will seat 555 passengers in a typical three-class interior layout, will enter airline service in 2006. [ Source: http://www.airbus.com/product/a380_backgrounder.asp ]
