Air France today took delivery of its first
Airbus A380, the 20th delivered by Airbus since Singapore Airlines took the first superjumbo in October 2007. The French carrier expects to become the first European airline to fly the all-new, double-deck airliner when it begins scheduled services next month.

Airbus president and CEO Tom Enders officially handed over the aircraft during a delivery ceremony today in Hamburg, Germany, to Air France-KLM CEO Pierre-Henri Gourgeon and chairman Jean-Cyril Spinetta. Engine Alliance president James Moravecek also took part in the ceremonies.
