Every one figured the French President was gonna get an A380 any way, that really comes as no surprise, after all Airbus is French based, and that is there most crowning build, so why not fit it to the leader of there country?


He isn't. He's getting an A330, not an A380. Smiley

If AAR is such an issue for the plane carrying the president, I can't see a plane with two engines being supported.


Not really an issue, but more of a problem would be the extended loitering ability of a twin should they lose an engine.

I could honestly see the French President flying in a A350, but I guess they did not want to wait for it to roll out.

And I was going to say the same thing about the Air Refuel ability
