The Airbus A380 superjumbo aircraft, the world's largest passenger liner, will arrive in Indian skies next month on a promotional flight for India's Kingfisher Airlines, news website economictimes.com reported on Thursday.

The A380 is scheduled to visit Mumbai and New Delhi from May 7 to 10 for Kingfisher's second anniversary celebrations.

Kingfisher, owned by India's United Breweries Group, which controls the top brewer and spirits maker, has placed a firm order for five A380 aircraft and has an option for five more.

It is reported that Airbus expects Indian firms to place orders for 1,100 passenger and freighter aircraft valued at about 105 billion U.S. dollars over 20 years.

The A380 is a double deck, four-engined airliner manufactured by French firm Airbus S.A.S. (Societe par Actions Simplifiee).
