The exhibition takes place in the southern Chinese city of Zhuhai, Guangdong Province starting November 4, organizers of the exhibition said.

It will be the airplane's second trip to China; it is coming from France. The A380 carried 2,000 tents this May for people left homeless by the 8.0-magnitude earthquake in Sichuan.

The super-jumbo jet,  which is scheduled to arrive in Zhuhai on November 3, will be on static display and will also perform flying demonstrations. Some visitors will be invited aboard.

The A380 was displayed around major Chinese cities last October.

The double-deck jetliner, developed by French aircraft manufacturer Airbus, can seat 525 passengers. It boasts energy efficiency as less than three liters of fuel is consumed to sustain 100 kilometers of flight per passenger.

Till now, eight A380s have been delivered to Singapore Airlines, Emirates Airline and Qantas Airline. Five of the planes will be delivered to China Southern Airlines in early 2009.
