Singapore Airlines (SIA) made history on Friday night becoming the first airline to start commercial operations of the world's largest passenger aircraft, Airbus 380, in India when two of its flights landed in Delhi and Mumbai.

The first A-380 took off from Singaopore to Delhi and it was followed a couple of hours later by a flight to Mumbai. The superjumbo's inaugural journey to India took shape after the government allowed permission to fly the Big Bird from the French aircraft maker Airbus in January this year.
