Why Hi Fly’s Airbus A380 Can’t Fly To Lisbon Airport

  • Hi Fly has failed to obtain the authorization that it needs to fly emergency supplies into Lisbon Portela Airport. The wet lease specialist airline was planning to use its A380 to ship emergency supplies at some point in the near future. However, the lack of infrastructure at the airport means the request has been denied.

    Airbus: refuses to make A380 Freighter Hifly: We'll use it as freighter anyway

    • @markevans2294
      @markevans2294 4 роки тому +5

      IIRC Airbus gave up of developing an A380F because of lack of interest from airlines.
      Several airlines are currently using their passenger aircraft to carry freight.
      Even taking the seats out they can carry, only, about half of a freighter of the same type. Removing toilets and galleys likely wouldn't help much with that.

      It would have been nice if they would have dived into the physical reasons. The runways are long and wide (45m + 2 * 7.5m shoulder) enough and the 777-300ER has a higher pavement loading, so that cannot be the issue either. Taxiway spacing could be an issue, but not if there is hardly any traffic as you can just close them while the A380 is operating. That leaves just taxiway width and maybe space on the apron.

    Just spent 4 month in Lisboa, honestly I don’t think the A380 can land there. Planes fly in extremely low altitude in the city and even a A320 can deafen you sometimes in areas around the airport which is basically half the city. The straight distance from the airport to city center is literally shorter than the runway length (you can check google maps). But on the other hand 777s fly there every day so theoretically it can work but it’s not a good idea at all

    This is a con job no HiFly's part. First off, the A380 actually has LESS cargo capacity, not more, than aircraft that are much smaller. Now that's standard capacity, I do know some EU airlines have gotten permission to fly cargo in the cabin, but let's just stick with what they can normally legally carry. HiFly is trying to get the permission to fly the plane into the airport now, so that in the future the infrastructure is there for the aircraft. That's what this is. Hartford Bradley is an airport in Connecticut that allows A380's to land there as a diversion airport, and I've seen them land there. But they fallow a car which takes them down a specific route to a specific holding area. The wing alone on the aircraft was so long it reaches over into the center of the next taxi way in some areas. Then their are the engines which are so far out, they can tear up airport signs and lighting which was a big problem at some airports when the plane started flying. And then there is the weight. Some airports can serve as diversion points, but the plane can't be but so heavy or it can crack the pavement, or even settle into it forming indentations. I once met the guy at my local airport years ago who did the planning, and it was ONLY because they had just started a multi-billion dollar, facility wide renovation that they upgraded the pavement and signs to handle an A380, but that was back when it was assumed over a thousand of these things would take to the sky. Since many will not return to the skies after this stupid pandemic, why spend the money...especially when there are better options.

      It is easy to understand that a portuguese company wants to fly its flagship, the only Portuguese A380, to the capital city.
      And the A380 still has the highest MTOW available. It’s not a freighter, but it could become very useful.
      It is a shame to find so many people disliking the A380 which is truly a reference in modern aviation.

    • @jhmcd2
      @jhmcd2 4 роки тому

      @@miks564 I don't dislike the plane, I just see it for what it is. Its a nice plane, and I would love to get on one again (but in Business or first, coach is coach regardless of the plane) , but I've worked for two airlines, and I interned at a major US airport as the plane was first rolling out. I know the logistics of this thing, I understand the business model and I've been keeping track of all the problems as the jet has gone forward. Yeah, I supposed it would be nice for them to be able to park their planes at their home airport, but that was something they should have thought of before hand. And besides, up till recently, a lot of airlines actually didn't do that. I am not going to sugar coat it, we're far past that and even Airbus admitted it when they canned the project. The A380's cargo bins are some of the cargo bins per seat of any aircraft in the skies today. If I recall correctly, they are slightly smaller that ones on the A330, and far smaller than those on Boeing jets. If they can put cargo in seats like any other some other EU airlines have, than yes, this would be big...but other wise, this is little more than a stunt. As for the airport limitations: damaged taxi ways, airport signage and lights, and cracked pavement, those are REAL considerations that airports have to deal with. Cracked pavement can be deadly to a jetliner, or at the very least a headache. I recall an A380 caused tens of thousands in damage to one airport early on because of its size or weight when it diverted there. So if Portugal says it doesn't want the plane, its a lot more than just gassing them up and food carts.

    If it’s simply carrying freight it’s not as if it needs gate access and surely the aprons there are sizeable enough to accommodate the A380. Sadly the A380 has become a bit of an aviation white elephant. It’s a fantastic and very capable aircraft but due to a fickle aviation market it’s the wrong plane at the wrong time. Operators are wanting smaller wide body twin engined aircraft.
