A380 Aircraft Lands In Nadi

The largest passenger carrier in the world, the Qantas Air Bus A380, has for the first time touched down in Fiji this morning.

The Air Bus carrying more than 500 passengers was on its way to Sydney from Los Angeles but was diverted to the Nadi International Airport after a passenger suffered a stroke.

The Nadi Air Terminal Services confirmed the Air Bus is still at Nadi Airport and people are flocking in to get a glimpse of the huge airliner.

The Airbus A380 is a double decked, wide body, four engine airliner and can seat up to 550 passengers in three separate classes.

The Air Bus is expected to depart for Sydney later this morning.
