London - They call it the Dreamliner, but flying economy in an A380 could become a bit of a nightmare.

Airbus has revealed a new cabin layout that can shoehorn 11 people into one row in the world’s biggest passenger plane.

The new 3-5-3 seating plan – which could be used instead of the 3-4-3 arrangement – raises the prospect of a middle, middle seat.

The manufacturer says the new layout would help airlines fit 23 more passengers into economy class.

The changes are part of a broader shake-up to the A380’s layout. Altogether they could make space for 70 more passengers.
