The world's biggest commercial plane, the Airbus A380, will land in Shanghai, ready for a public showing tomorrow morning.  The double-decker superjumbo, which can carry 555 passengers, is on a 17-day global test flight.

It visited Guangzhou, capital of southern China's Guangdong Province, yesterday and will fly into Beijing this morning before heading to Shanghai.

Airport officials said they had drafted emergency plans in cooperation with French manufacturer Airbus and China Eastern Airlines.

The airport will not use a double-entrance air bridge, as was used at Baiyun Airport in Guangzhou because no passengers are onboard, airport officials said. But the airport will build two double-decker air bridges to serve the plane when it is put into operation, they said.

The plane will leave for Toulouse in France, where Airbuses headquarters are located, at 2pm tomorrow.
