Celebrating 15 Years of Emirates A380

Image
  Emirates has been flying the Airbus A380 for 15 years now, and it’s safe to say that this superjumbo has become a cornerstone of their fleet. With 116 A380s in operation, Emirates is the biggest user of this aircraft, and they’ve got some pretty cool features to show for it. When Emirates got its first A380 on July 28, 2008, it was a game-changer. Airports had to revamp their runways and air bridges just to handle this beast. Why? Because the A380 can weigh up to 575 tonnes, which is two and a half times the weight of the Statue of Liberty. The A380 is also the largest passenger aircraft ever made. It can hold up to 615 passengers and has over 550 square meters of usable floor space. That’s a lot of room for people and even more room for luxury, which Emirates is known for.

An Argentinian Low-Cost Carrier Has Become the First Airline in the World to Allow Passengers to Resell Their Tickets.

Image
  The Argentinian low-cost carrier Flybondi has become the first airline in the world to allow passengers to resell their tickets and, in the process, earn a cut of any profit made by selling the ticket for a higher price than it was originally sold for. Similar to how concert ticket vendors like Ticketmaster have allowed resales for years, Flybondi has introduced a new platform from travel technology startup TravelX to introduce a similar concept for airline tickets. The system works by creating an NFT ticket alongside the original ticket, which is stored on the blockchain. The two tickets are synchronized and have the same fare rules, seat numbers and itineraries, allowing Flybondi to trace the NFT ticket even as it is resold or transferred to someone else. The technology currently allows resells up to 72 hours before departure, enabling both Flybondi and TravelX to earn a transaction fee whenever the ticket changes hands. Normally, airlines strictly forbid reselling tickets, but Fly
