Get ready for the A380

Christmas comes early in a big way at Fly UK!

As promised the largest commercial passenger jet in the world joins the ranks of Fly UK this year. We are thrilled to announce that Fly UK has acquired six A380’s and they are ready to make their way to their hibernation for a lick of Crystal paint before heading to Fly UK’s home at London Heathrow (EGLL).

The airframes have been carefully stored since retirement from their previous carrier at Teruel Airport Storage Facility and are due to be repainted at Airbus’ facility in Hamburg Finkenverder. From there, wearing their new colours, they will be flown to EGLL which will become our A380 home base.

Ad-Hoc flights for this go live at midnight on 16th November and will continue until the end of the month. After this a small number of familiarisation flights will be available to allow pilots to get to grips with the ‘Skyways Super’ callsign and the A380 will then enter Mainstream service from mid-December.

4K Livery including a custom interior is available for download now from our Fleet Centre. 

We hope you enjoy these ad-hoc delivery and familiarisation flights as we phase in the A380 ready for Christmas!
