Airbus A380 is one of the most important planes in aviation history, not only for being the world’s biggest passenger plane but also for being an aircraft to fly with aviation fuel derived from cooking oil. Based on the manufacturer’s claim, the 249 A380 aircraft have to be delivered to 14 customers by December 2022. However, Tata-owned Air India is not one on the list.
