Qantas To Bring A380 To Australia
Qantas announced today that the world’s largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A380, would visit Australia next month.
The Chief Executive Officer of Qantas, Mr Geoff Dixon, said that following a special request from Qantas, Airbus would bring the A380 to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
“The visit of the A380 will coincide with Qantas’ 85th anniversary, a major milestone for the airline and for Australian aviation,” Mr Dixon said.
The first A380, MSN-001, which has been involved in Airbus’s A380 flight test program, will arrive in Australia in the lead up to Qantas’ birthday on 16 November.
Mr Dixon said a firm timetable for the A380’s visit was being finalised with Airbus.
“Airbus representatives were in Australia last week to meet with Qantas, CASA and airport operators in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane to discuss the considerable logistical effort that will be involved in the A380’s visit,”
Mr Dixon said.
“We expect high levels of interest in the aircraft while it is in Australia and Qantas is very excited that it is behind the A380’s first flight outside Europe.”
