  • Hi Fly operated their last A380 flight and I was the only passenger invited onboard this special farewell flight. We departed Beja, Portugal for Toulouse. Immediately after take-off, the A380 performed several fly-bys to bid farewell to her base and the crowd. The A380 flew at very low speed along with high-speed fly-bys and pulled some "Gs" like she was performing at an air show.
    Then we proceed to the Atlantic Ocean to draw a "heart shape" flight path to say thank you to the A380 before proceeding to Toulouse, France, where she was built 14 years ago. I toured the empty cabin on both the upper deck and the lower deck. The crew served a light lunch before landing. The CEO of Hi Fly, Paulo Mirpuri, explained the meaning behind the special paint "Save the Coral Reef".
    The weather improved upon arrival at Toulouse, so we flew over the airfield to salute the A380 before a final stop landing. Farewell Hi Fly A380 "Save the Coral Reef".
    The Hi Fly A380 was significant, according to Captain Carlos Mirpuri, due to the nature of her charter, the Hi Fly A380 flew to many airports that had never received an A380 before.
    It was the first to land in Wuhan, China, following the coronavirus outbreak to repatriate European citizens. Recently, it completed a round the world humanitarian mission, which lasted four days, starting and ending in Beja, Portugal. It covered 31,047 kms in a flight time of 33 hours and 45 minutes, with stops in Tianjin and Santo Domingo.
    And it was the first A380 to land in:
    • Beja (23/07/2018)
    • Oslo (2/08/2018)
    • Reunion (25/08/2018)
    • Diass (14/04/2019)
    • Antananarivo (30/06/2019)
    • Cairo (7/07/2019)
    • Caracas (14/07/2019)
    • Buenos Aires (23/07/2019)
    • Dalaman (23/09/2019)
    • Enfidha (24/09/2019)
    • Las Palmas (27/09/2019)
    • Santo Domingo (16/05/2020)

      Nah, with the new aircraft regulations, every airline HAS to have 1 A380 and 747 in operations for every boring aircraft they have (737, 777, A330 etc)
      So they will be flying for quite some time, and then we will change regulations to DETOPS 5 for the twins, only 5 minute flying time from a suitable airport...

    I flew on a Qantas A380 several times to Melbourne, Australian from Los Angeles and back. My first trip over there was in a 747 and it wasn't too bad. My second, third, and fourth trips over there were on an A380. All 6 of those 15+ hour flights were a dream on the A380 compared to the 747. Quieter, smoother, and roomier. The snack bar was a plus as well. The 747 will always be the queen of the skies, but the A380 was an absolute dream to fly on. 10/10 would fly on again. I'm sad they're retiring, even though my trips to Australia are long behind me.

      @Z no they are not all retiring my dad is a pilot for the Emirates A380 and they have about 100 of them and they can’t let them all go they would waste like $20 billion so they have to keep most of them and also it is a failure because it runs on a lot of fuel and now in 2020 people aren’t flying the plane has no purpose it takes lots of fuel and lots of passengers and that’s not what we need in 2020 we need small planes like the A320neo now or 737 max
