AIRBUS A380 had its first flight in service in October 2007, by Singapore Airlines. Certainly more than the "8 years ago" mentioned. Video was uploaded 28th Dec 2024, and mention ought to be made at beginning perhaps with a notice saying "this video was first broadcast on.."? Just a thought, for clarity since the presenter mentions a time period.
Former Boeing Everett... performing Heavy Maintenance takes longer than building a Brand New Plane and much harder too... we can build a new plane in 1 week... Heavy Maintenance can take 1 month... of the 4 million individual parts in an A-380... over 1 million are rivets...
It's an incredible engineering feat, but it's not the best plane to work on... servicing costs are ridiculously expensive...and that's just prior to each take off. And the load space in the rear hold is pretty poor compared to a A350 or 777. That said, I'd like to take a trip on one before they're taken out of service, just for the experience 😊
It would be nice if the title included the year when this was fresh information (ten years ago in this case).
This video is ancient history

Still love BBC EARTH SCIENCE though!
4 million individual parts?! Bahaha, it's absolutely insane how complex aircrafts are
I had my first flight on one a couple of months ago. Quite simply, the most amazing aircraft I have been in. Its size takes your breath away.
So intricate
Love BBC earth the BEST
Where can you watch the full episode please?
For real maintenance check utube, Stig aviation..
@kyriakoskitsios Thanks 😎
Geez, I thought this is going to be an hour long video! It's not even 4 minutes!
This is why I love airbus.. Unlike boing who know about issues and don't recall them

Is the A380 an UNDERRATED plane ✈️?
Boeing is far from this. Too bad for them.
this is after the aircraft is delivered not during production lol
@destinationlimbo378 still
Boeing will soon be bankrupt😮
Missing Air France Airbus from Manaus, Brasil.. remember? The stain of Airbus
Boring is not going bankrupt mate 👎
ok, good to know the guys are looking for cracks, still not so many of these machines actually been used there up in the skies?
Heavy maintenance can cost about 15 million
What an ariplane
Remarkably not a single life was lost shouldn’t be remarkable

This guy remind me of Richard Hammond 😂😅
Well ! What’s Airbus got to do with the earth science ?!!!
Science is intrinsic to everything
Do you think Science has nothing to do with it's very existence? Did a bunch of drunkards at a Bar in London, just decide to build it?
What's love got to do, gotta do with this .🎶 🎵
Think of it as a mechanical bird
First broadcast 2015.
Old, Old , old CONTENT!
Boeing taking notes
@@rocky0el Boeing were "gifted" jet engine & how to pressure cabins saftley
thats a lot of work seems like it would be cheaper just to build a new plane
door
Amazing how this specific model had never had an accident until now
🕯️
You’d hope that would be the case for all models
It's the attention to detail that separates European manufacturing from everyone else
first!❤
Propaganda.
Quick, get out of the internet! Everything is propaganda.
Yes, everyone knows planes can't actually fly, it's all a hoax...
Yes, for flying, how dare they!
I for one welcome our new airbus overlords!
