At 11.34am on Thursday, 15 May, a new British airline took off on its maiden flight. A giant Airbus A380 plane in the colours of Global Airlines has lifted off from Glasgow Airport in Scotland, destination New York JFK.
The flight was due to leave at 11am, but was pushed back 13 minutes late, and along with further delay on the taxiway, the Airbus A380 took off over half an hour behind schedule. But thanks to a fast flight time, it is expected to arrive on schedule in New York at 1pm.
