Airbus gets order for A380 that will seat 'around 840'

Airbus says it has received its first order for a single-class A380 that apparently will seat up to 840 passengers. Airbus says that order came from Air Austral, an airline based in La Reunion –- a French overseas department in the Indian Ocean off the east coast of Africa, according The Associated Press. Reuters says the carrier "provisionally bought two A380s in a single-class configuration, meaning it could seat over 800" when it's delivered in 2014. Air Transport Intelligence (ATI) goes one step further, reporting that Air Austral's A380s "will be configured with around 840 seats." The publication says that configuration would be the "highest density seating of any A380 so far."
