The double-decker A380 is the world’s largest commercial aircraft flying today, with capacity to carry 525 passengers in a three-class configuration and up to 853 in a single-class configuration that provides wider seats than its competitors. The A380’s two decks offer 50 percent more floor surface than any other high-capacity aircraft.

It has a main deck and an upper deck, which are conveniently linked by fixed stairs forward and aft.  The aircraft is actively being purchased by airlines for commercial flights worldwide, with 80 being in current operations.
