yes around 20
it depends some a380s can be customized slightly by the airline so some for example so Qantas a380s may have a bigger tank than emirates a380s because Qantas is the official airline of Australia so it would be better for profit and income if it had a slightly larger tank. the standard a 380 could probably fly a small distance past mala
Qantas briefly grounded theirs after a weird incident with an engine malfunction, but no, they, and all other a380s, are flying daily. In fact i saw an Air France a380 landing at Dulles yesterday.

Yes they do.
No it doesn't. They had a test back in 2007/2008 with Qantas on a 767, but it only lasted a couple of months and Qantas never rolled out. Recently, Qantas announced that they will be launching inflight internet services with OnAir on their A380s. Now that is going to be a complete solution, working fine, and putting Qantas at par with their competitors already fitted with OnAir. Aeromobile still believe their Ku-band solution is the key, when all the major airlines across the world select SwiftBroadBand (SBB) and bridge it with Ka-band Global Xpress from Inmarsat...and all distributed by OnAir. That's where the future is.
