Talk about sardine cans

Airbus plans to release a 1,000-passenger version of the world’s largest commercial jet, the A380, reports the Australian Business Traveler (ABT).
 

They say most airlines are flying their versions of the A380 that carry up to 540 passengers, contingent on the configuration. But those numbers could be expanded.
 

"If you think today’s A380 is massive, wait until the next generation of the superjumbo," says ABT.

The A380-900 will carry 650 passengers in a standard multi-class configuration and as many as 900 passengers in an economy-only configuration, according to ABT.
 

If that isn’t big enough, ABT claims Lufthansa and Air France are already considering an even larger version, dubbed the A380-1000, which could hold as many as 1,000 passengers.
