On January 17 2009, QANTAS become the third airline to operate an Airbus A380 service into London Heathrow Airport.

We had hoped to capture it's arrival but unfortunately bad weather prevented us from doing so. We did however capture the inaugural departure from Runway 27R.

We hope you enjoy it!

  • wasnt the first Qantas A380 flight from Melbourne to Los Angeles?

  • Yes. This was the first flight to LHR.

  • if this "thing"

    ever fall from the sky with people on board

    please stop flying

    i order you in the name of Humanity

  • The QANTAS plane in the video only carries 450 passengers instead of the 853 the plane is certified to carry.

    The Airbus A380 is one of the safest aircraft in operation to date and although it would be a disaster if one were to come down the chances of this happening are very small.

    As humans we have to push the boundaries. There is absolutely no reason why this plane shouldn't fly.

    It has been fully tested and is deemed to be very safe and it seems to be the future of air travel.

  • What time A380 is Landing or Take off from Heathrow??

  • Currently Singapore Airlines operates 2 flights into Heathrow each day using the A380. The first arrives at around 6am and departs around 10.30am. The second arrives at about 6.10pm and departs around 9pm.

    QANTAS currently operate their A380 3 times per week arriving at 6.20am Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday and departing around about 11.30.

    Emirates flies in daily at around 11.30, departing around 13.45.

    These times may have changed/may vary so you chould check the airlines websites.

    Nice to hear your story about the first A380 flying into Heathrow it must have been amazing to see it for the first time in this way.

    I have recently started a new channel mcpcshowcaseHD which features high definition videos. I have one of the QANTAS A380 flying directly overhead (so close I nearly got blown into the main road as she passed by) amongst many others which you may enjoy.

    Thanks again for your comment!

  • Nice , I like the BMI
