A380 and 787 both pressurise around 6000ft height equivalent as opposed to 8000ish on older planes.

- dzhiurgis 9y agoWelp, didn't knew that. Air quality is still an issue tho.
- ulfw 9y agoAgreed. Humidity is higher on A380 than 777 though not as good as on A350 or 787. Some airlines use humidifiers on other aircraft (Lufthansa on the 747-8i in First/Biz only)
- raverbashing 9y ago> Some airlines use humidifiers on other aircraft (Lufthansa on the 747-8i in First/Biz only) Really? Won't this affect the airframe? (humidity is low for a reason)
- ceejayoz 9y agoIf humidity in the cabin affects the airframe that much, Singapore Airlines is already screwed.
