Chinese visitors take photos in the business class section of the new Airbus A380 superjumbo airliner that was on display at the Pudong Airport in Shanghai, 25 October 2007. The new plane has a 'wow factor' that premium airlines hope will help them see off the challenge from low-cost rivals, aviation analysts say. Singapore Airlines (SIA) scored a coup over Qantas by staging the giant aircraft's first commercial flight on 25 October in the Sydney backyard of its Australian arch rival, which will not receive its own A380s until mid-2008.
