Singapore Airlines A380 jumbo jet

Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - The huge and nearly quiet A380 Airbus jumbojet made what is likely to be a rare appearance in Geneva Thursday morning 21 January. It flew in from Zurich in order to be sure there are no problems landing the plane, in order for the airport to be certified to welcome it.

Singapore Airlines flew the plane in and out of Zurich Wednesday, in order for Kloten airport to be certified for it. Singapore will begin scheduled flights there in the summer of 2010. Geneva is a back-up emergency landing airport for the plane, and thus also needs to be certified. The A380′s other European airports are London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle.
