First Global Airlines A380 moves closer to commercial launch

Global Airlines, the British start-up aiming to revolutionise commercial flying, has reached a significant milestone as its first Airbus A380 aircraft successfully completes heavy maintenance in Germany.

The aircraft underwent extensive work at maintenance firm Elbe Flugzeugwerke (EFW) in Dresden. On January 16, the A380 took off from Dresden Airport, marking its readiness for the next phase of preparation.

The aircraft, registration 9H-GLOBL, will now be stationed in Beja, Portugal, where final adjustments and enhancements will be made before its official entry into commercial service.

In a LinkedIn post celebrating the achievement, Global Airlines said: “A heartfelt thank you to EFW, a global leader in aviation maintenance, for taking such excellent care of our inaugural aircraft and getting it back up in the air where it belongs.”

Looking ahead, Global Airlines plans to launch its highly anticipated flights between London Heathrow and New York JFK in 2025, partnering with Portuguese carrier Hi Fly which will operate the aircraft.
