THE WORLD THIS WEEK

Giant plane takes to the skies

The biggest passenger plane in the world has landed after its first flight with lots of people on board. There have been test flights of the Airbus A380 before, but this journey was the first time people were allowed to buy tickets to travel on it. And some of the tickets were pretty expensive, with the dearest costing £49,000. As many as 853 passengers can squeeze onto an A380, but most airlines are expected to space people out. The A380 is lots bigger than other planes.
