Air France is just about to become the first European airline to receive the A380 - and the fourth operator overall, joining Singapore Airlines, Emirates and Qantas.



Air France's inaugural flight between Paris and New York will mark the first scheduled A380 transatlantic flights between Europe and the Americas.
