BEIJING, April 21 -- The world's largest commercial airliner, the A380, will make its first test flight within the next 15 days.
Airbus vice-president Philippe Delmas, who is in China accompanying French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin, told reporters that only the pilots would decide what day they want to fly.
The inaugural flight of the new super jumbo airliner developed by the European consortium has been postponed several times. Airbus had initially wanted the flight to take place at the end of March or early April.
Earlier this month, the European aircraft maker said that the flight would come in "the second half of April."
The twin-deck aircraft, capable of carrying between 555 and 800 people, was unveiled January 18 and is scheduled to go into service next year.
