Cattle class just got bigger: Emirates unveils new Airbus A380 with a record 615 seats after ripping out first class to pack in more passengers
1등석 없애고 비지니스와 이코노미만 남겨
이코노미 좌석수 130석이나 늘려
탑승인원 615명...타 동종기종보다 98명 늘어
Emirates' new Airbus A380 planes have two classes instead of three
First class has been scrapped and there are fewer flat-bed business seats
This has allowed the luxury carrier to add about 130 seats in economy
Passengers will not lose any legroom as the seat pitch will not change
Two-class A380 will carry 98 more passengers than the three-class A380
세계 최고의 항공사로 평가받는 에미레이트 항공의 새 에어버스 A380는 좌석은
3개 등급이 아니라 비지니스석과 이코노미석 2개 뿐이다.
1등석을 없애버리고 18개의 비지니스 클래스의 평상형 좌석을 과감하게 줄여 이코노미클래스를
130석이나 늘렸다. 그러나 앞 좌석과의 넉넉한 공간은 변함이 없다.
에미레이트 항공은 다른 나라의 3등급 좌석의 A380보다 98명을 더 탑승시킬 수 있다.
탑승 인원만 615명으로 세계최대 여객기를 자랑한다.

Economy class is getting even bigger after Emirates reconfigured its new Airbus A380 planes to hold the most seats ever for an airliner.
Already the world’s largest passenger plane, the new two-class A380 will hold a staggering 615 passengers in business and economy – but travellers in so-called cattle class will not lose any legroom inside Emirates' overhauled cabin.
The luxury Gulf carrier has made room for about 130 additional economy seats by scrapping the spacious first class cabin and trimming 18 flat-bed seats from business class.

Emirates' new A380 has two classes - business and economy - and will hold a staggering 615 passengers
With no first class and fewer flat-bed seats in business, there are about 130 additional economy seats
Emirates' first two-class A380 was delivered this week and will be used on its Dubai-Copenhagen route
Unveiled at the Dubai Airshow this week, Emirates’ two-class A380 has 557 seats in economy and 58 seats and a lounge in business – carrying enough passengers to rival the population of a small village.
The two-class planes will carry about 100 more passengers than the existing three-class fleet.
It said the seat pitch (the space between the back of one seat and the back of the seat behind it) will remain 32-34in and the width will be slightly smaller at 17.5in – half an inch less than Emirates' three-class A380s, which have fewer economy seats.
Emirates’ existing A380s have two different configurations with three classes – first, business and economy – seating 489 or 517 passengers.
The airline's first two-class A380 was delivered to the Dubai Airshow straight from Airbus’ plant in Hamburg, Germany.
In addition to more space, business class passengers will enjoy an on-board lounge with canapes and drinks

Visitors were among the first to board the double-decker, although they didn’t have the luxury of leaving the ground.
The massive four-engine plane will be used on Emirates’ Dubai-Copenhagen route when it enters service on 1 December.
The average flight time is seven hours and a one-way economy class ticket costs about £350 ($540).
Emirates was the first airline to order the A380 and is the largest operator of the aircraft, carrying almost 47 million passengers since 2008.
It has 68 of the airliners in its fleet with 72 more on order, flying to 34 destinations from Dubai.
