A new UK-US airline has bought the first of three Airbus planes it plans to purchase. Global Airlines is planning to operate transatlantic flights from London by spring 2024.
It says it has acquired an Airbus A380, the world’s largest passenger jet. It believes it is the first new airline to own one of the double-decker superjumbos in eight years.
The vast majority of A380s around the world were put into storage at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. The move sparked speculation they would never return due to the existence of more fuel-efficient aircraft.
