During a very special delivery ceremony, the first out of 5 aircraft ordered was handed over from Airbus President and CEO Tom Enders, to China Southern Airlines Chairman Si Xianmin. China Southern Airlines becomes the 7th A380 operator globally. Four years after entry into service, 57 A380s have flown for over 350,000 hours with more than 15 million passengers -- many of whom actually detour to be able to fly on one.
