An airline startup with plans to fly A380s between London and New York made its first transatlantic flight
02.05.2024 - 12:11 / insider.com
Global Airlines completed its first transatlantic flight with an Airbus A380 on Wednesday.
The British startup wants to fly the superjumbo jet between London and New York, with the first commercial flight penciled in for later this year.
It took ownership of its first aircraft in February, an A380 previously owned by China Southern Airlines. The jet, registered as 9H-GLOBL, completed some test flights in California's Mojave Desert the same month.

On Tuesday, the A380 made its first flight from Mojave to Montreal. The following day, it flew across the Atlantic to Glasgow Prestwick Airport — a nearly eight-hour flight.
It was the most tracked flight worldwide on Flightradar24 on the day, with over 20,000 people following its journey. But planespotters on the ground in Scotland were somewhat disappointed to see that it was still painted in the China Southern livery.
