Emirates put the A380 on their daily midday B'ham UK service on the day the airport celebrated it's 70th birthday and official opening of the new International Pier. This was the first time an A380 has been scheduled into another UK airport other than at Heathrow. The aircraft shown here is registered A6-EDE, it arrived at 12:15 and departed at 15:30. The take off was slightly long as there was a 10KT tailwind, this was so all those gathered around the terminals and Control Tower got a good view of it departing

  • I can't understand , it was landing , and takeoffs again ???

  • This is an edited video of the aircraft's visit to B'ham, It parked up for around 3 hours on the stand, before departing back to Dubai

  • I used to work at B'ham trust me the airport cannot cope with a fully loaded 777, let alone 747 or A380. In the Summer if it was too hot the Emirates 777-300er would have to leave behind Pax or Bags to stay below the weight limits. That's the reason you hardly ever see 747's at BHX, they can land, but not full.

  • What a vid, what a plane. How the hell do they get these things to fly? its huge!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @roryj123ok That's true, although I assume the 380 has a higher lift coefficient than the 777.

  • @Neutrinoghost Fully loaded the A380 can actually take off in less distance then the 777-300ER
