A380 UK airport flypasts next weekend
29.08.09
Plane spotters across the UK are in for a treat next weekend, as the world’s largest passenger plane, the 525-seat Airbus A380, will make a flying visit over a number of airports, and airshow and its Broughton plant in Flintshire, where the plane's wings are made.
The giant aircraft will make its first visits to Scotland and Northern Ireland, as well as being seen over England and Wales, next Saturday. It is scheduled to fly over Edinburgh and Prestwick airports, the Northern Ireland International Airshow at Portrush, Belfast City Airport, the Broughton factory and Birmingham airport.
The A380 will not land at any of the locations, but will perform an approach-and-go manoeuvre, which means it will come in as it would to land, but depart before actually touching down.
