On the lower deck of the A380, the cabin has a 2-4-2 layout (similar to what is found on British Airways’ B777s).

Contrary to other airlines, British Airways still considers the A380 to be a valued part of its fleet and has currently no plans to retire the jumbojets. The airline has 12 A380s in its fleet, which have remained grounded for the duration of the pandemic. The A380 is British Airways’ largest wide-body plane and flagship aircraft.
