You WON'T Believe What Global Airlines Just Did With Airbus A380! Here's Why
Information about ''the King of the skies'' continues to SHAKE the aviation industry as reports reveal that Global Airlines has UNEXPECTED plans concerning this aircraft. This news has thrilled aviation enthusiasts in general, and A380 fans in particular, as they look forward to seeing this legendary icon soaring through the skies for many more decades.
So, what bold moves have Global Airlines made concerning this aircraft? What impact will it have on the aviation industry? Let's find out in today's episode.
On September 23, EFW announced that it had signed a contract with Global Airlines to provide maintenance services for the airline’s fleet of A3 80 aircraft. This contract includes heavy airframe maintenance, which will help prepare Global Airlines' first A380 for operation, with the maintenance expected to begin in the 4 quarter of 2024.

In addition, EFW will carry out regularly scheduled maintenance, including mandatory inspections and part replacements as required by Global Airlines. The German-based maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO for short) company also revealed that it has received additional Airbus huge aircraft maintenance orders from other undisclosed clients, which will lead to an expansion of EFW’s A380 maintenance operations starting in 2025.
EFW highlighted that many airlines worldwide have resumed operating the A380, with a strong resurgence of the aircraft in recent times. Therefore, the German company anticipates increasing demand for MRO services for this jumbo jet, drawing on its experience in delivering around 50 intensive maintenance services for this aircraft model over the years.
In fact, some airlines have faced difficulties in quickly bringing the A380 back into service. For example, on February 2023, Alan Joyce, former CEO of Qantas, told Aviation International News that the shortage of MRO facilities had delayed the reactivation of the Australian airline’s A380's. Jordi Boto, CEO of EFW, stated that given the MRO company's experience with this type of aircraft, they are excited to resume maintenance operations for this Airbus huge aircraft. “We look forward to supporting our new customer, Global Airlines, with its first A380 and seeing more aircraft of this type back in the sky.”

Additionally, the airline is demonstrating its enthusiasm for the giant two-deck aircraft. On September 2023, Global Airlines announced a partnership with Hi Fly, stating that the two companies would jointly develop and maintain "four" A380 aircraft that the airline had previously agreed to purchase. Global Airlines first attracted attention in the aviation industry on May 2023 when it announced the acquisition of its first jumbo jet from Doric Aviation, a Germany-based aircraft asset management company. The parent company of Doric Aviation, Doric Nimrod Air Two, had previously sold five A380 aircraft to Emirates for approximately 200 million USD.
