The massive Airbus A380, in full Emirates livery that included the distinctive belly logo, graced the skies earlier today, flying low along Dubai’s beachfront.
Piloted by Capt. Claude Lelaie of Airbus, the aircraft glided several times along the beach at 1500 feet, thrilling the city’s residents and visitors alike, many capturing the sight on their mobiles and cameras, and commenting on how quiet the aircraft was, despite its double-decker super-jumbo size.
The arrival of the aircraft in Dubai was made possible by Emirates, the world’s largest customer for the aircraft, and Airbus. This was the first time the A380 sported any airline’s full livery.
