ABOUT THIS VIDEO

Emirates Airbus A380 inaugural visit to Birmingham Airport.

You'll notice that the plane takes off in the opposite direction. This is despite the wind blowing behind the aircraft and all aircraft before and after it taking off over our heads. Apparently this was so the plane landed and took off alongside the new International Terminal that had been opened that day!

The Emirates A380 is scheduled to start daily services between Dubai and Manchester Airport from 1 September 2010. Manchester Airport will become the first regional airport anywhere in the world to serve the A380.

  • does the a380 fly regulary into birningham or was this a one off???

  • @scottulee It was a one off for the time being at least.

  • by the way, awesome video, how on earth they fitted the A380 in BHX's apron is beyond me. What gate did it park on?

  • Not sure of the Gate Number. It parked at the new International Terminal that opened the same day.

  • best airline

  • @mcpcshowcaseHD BHX has a runway extension plan but it is quite a few years away from completion. I don't expect the A380 to feature here until the runway extension is open.

    mcpcshocaseHD will have a better idea but my guess would be that the current runway is too short for an A380 to be able to carry a full load. The BHX-DXB route is served by the Boeing 777-300ER (even if they do cram in 10 seats per row and have cabin crew who ignore passengers!)

  • Looks clumsy and obese compared to a B747

  • the runwy looks short

  • @skiesandseasHD OK, I just thought it was strong judging from the sound.

  • You say in your description that the plae took off in a tail wind. I wasn't there so I don't know, and yöu were there and you obviously know what the weather conditions were like, but I don't think they would risk taking off in a strong tail wind just for show on what appears to be a quite short runway. Wasn't it crosswind?

  • @Leonator579 they're gonna stretch it to hell!

  • excellent video..the engines seem to be very quiet or is it just the video? i've only seen it landing so dont know for real..

  • @sanchodayus the airbus a380 isn't so long

  • Very nice!
