Airbus has used the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg to showcase what it calls Cabin Enablers for the A380.

The most striking is a New Forward Stairs (NFS) option to free-up floor space for 20 additional passengers

A Aft-Galley Stair Module allows for 14 more passengers and two food trolleys, while upper-deck sidewall stowage removal creates space for ten more business class passengers and an 11-abreast premium economy configuration that creates space for nine more flyers.
