By incorporating the basic instrument layout of the A380, the A350 will require minimal cross-crew qualification training, yet will have the same type rating as the A330.

There have been various systems improvements to the A380 since service entry; among those for the flight deck are a Runway Overrun Protection System and Brake-to-Vacate, which regulates deceleration after touchdown.
Researchers are studying new technologies to put into commercial aircraft cockpits in the future.

Although considerably larger than the earlier generation of Airbus aircraft, the A380 will retain cockpit commonality, whilst making full use of the latest technology. Airbus is working with airline pilots to refine the cockpit design, which will feature eight identical display screens.

The redesigned forward stairs in the A380 are designed to create space for 20 more passengers and would raise the A380’s four-class capacity to 575 seats.

Airbus claims that the A380 will offer passengers, including those in economy class, wider seats and a more spacious cabin than today's airliners, plus 15-20% lower operating costs per seat.

Lufthansa's research has shown that its passengers prefer a double-paired, V-configured arrangement of Business Class seats with the heads far apart and the feet much closer together.

Lufthansa's new intercontinental Business Class seats have large in-flight entertainment screens for each passenger. Note the considerable pitch between each seat row and the extensive amount of personal storage space each passenger receives.

Passenger popularity is why some operators will operate A380s well into the future, as reflected by Singapore Airlines recently introducing a revised premium cabin pictured here.

13 декабря 2017г. Singapore Airlines (SIA) приняла первый Airbus A380 из пяти машин новой серии. Он имеет новые интерьеры и компоновку пассажирских салонов четырех классов. На борту предусмотрено 471 пассажирское место, что на 92 больше, чем наименьший вариант из более ранних A380 этой авиакомпании. На нижней палубе расположены 44 места премиум-эконом и 343 эконом-класса. На второй палубе размещены 78 мест бизнес-класса, а также 6 первоклассных апартаментов, в каждом из которых, кроме шикарного кресла, находится кровать. При необходимости два люксовых купе можно легко объединить в одно, убрав перегородку между ними.
Singapore Airlines' newly revised A380 cabin layout has 18 more business-class seats.

A cabin interior mock-up illustrates how airlines could take advantage of the additional space to add comfort for passengers on long-distance flights. Whether such a configuration will actually be realised, with airlines being faced with increasing economic pressures calling for greater seating densities, remains to be seen.

For the First Class cabins of Lufthansa's A380s, Airbus has installed a special layer of sound-insulating material between the outer wall of the forward fuselage and the inner wall to make the cabin quieter for passengers.
