What is the maximum certified passenger capacity of the Airbus A380?

The Airbus A380 has a maximum certified passenger capacity of 853 passengers.

That figure applies to a high-density, all-economy configuration of the A380-800. Airlines normally install far fewer seats because they provide multiple cabins, wider personal space, galleys, lavatories, and other passenger amenities.

The A380 is a full-length, double-deck wide-body aircraft and remains the largest passenger airliner ever built. Its two decks run along most of the fuselage, giving it unusually high passenger volume compared with conventional single-deck wide-body aircraft.

The certified maximum is often confused with typical airline layouts. Emirates, Singapore Airlines, and other operators used different cabin arrangements, so published seat counts varied substantially. Capacity figures also should not be confused with maximum takeoff weight or range, which describe different aircraft-performance characteristics.
