The twin-deck aircraft, which has been undergoing final preparation at Airbus’ Hamburg plant, is to be deployed on the daily Paris Charles de Gaulle-New York JFK route in November this year.

Air France has configured the jet for 538 passengers, which will make it the highest-density layout of any A380 so far put into service.

The airline has a mix of 80 business-class and 106 economy-class seats on the upper deck. The lower deck will feature nine first-class and 343 economy-class seats.

Air France has 12 Airbus A380s on order, four of which will start operating in winter 2009 and spring 2010.
