Wrong! The correct answer is 1969.
Airbus' first aircraft, the A300B, was launched at the 1969 Paris Air Show. It was the first widebody twinjet and could carry 226 passengers in a comfortable two-class lay-out. A stretched 250-seat version, the A300B2, requested by launch customer Air France, went into full scale production. By the end of 1975, Airbus had 10 per cent of the market and a total of 55 aircraft on order. The company then went through a dark period, during which it failed to secure any new orders. Finally, US carrier Eastern Airlines decided to lease four A300B4s.

Wrong! The correct answer is A380.
Designed in close collaboration with major airlines, airport and airworthiness authorities, the A380 brings new standards of comfort and better economics in an aircraft that is more environmentally responsible. Whilst doing all of this, it allows growth and reduced congestion from today's airports with minimum change. The A380, which will seat 555 passengers in a typical three-class interior layout, will enter airline service in 2006.
