The world's biggest aircraft, the 555-seat Airbus A380, will arrive in China during Zhuhai Airshow in November this year.
The aircraft will also fly to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou where residents will have chance to see the double-decker aircraft.
China Southern Airlines has ordered five A380 aircraft, two of which will be delivered before 2008, and will be put into service prior to the Beijing Olympics.
Airbus A380 has received 159 orders from 16 airlines in the world. More than 50 percent of the orders come from Asia.
The A380 will appear at Tuesday's Asian Air Show in Singapore. Singapore Airlines, the A380's first costumer, has order ten of the aircraft.
