FIRST AIR FRANCE A380 FLIGHT TO JAPAN

Today, Wednesday 1 September 2010, Air France’s Airbus A380 served the Paris-Tokyo route for the
very first time, making Tokyo the first destination in Asia to be served by the airline’s Super jumbo. The
aircraft took off at 13:30 from Paris-Charles de Gaulle, and will land at Tokyo-Narita at 08:10 local time,
tomorrow morning.
The A380 flight schedule on the Paris – Tokyo route:
- Paris-Tokyo:
AF 276, on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays; flights will be daily starting 4 October 2010.
Flight departs from terminal 2E at 13:30, and arrives at 08:10 the following day
- Tokyo-Paris:
AF 275, on Monday s, Thursday s and Saturday s; flights will be daily starting 5 October 2010
Flight departs at 11:50 and arrives at Paris-Charles de Gaulle 2E at 17:15
Paris-Tokyo is Air France’s 3rd route served by A380, following Paris-New York in 2009 and Paris-
Johannesburg in February 2010. Thanks to the A380, Air France is rationalizing frequencies on these
busy routes by combining two flights leaving at close departure times, while still offering the same number
of seats and reducing costs by 20%. The A380’s main deck is the same size as a Boeing 777-200 and the
upper deck is the same size as an Airbus A340 -300.
Air France’s A380 is equipped with 538 seats in three cabin classes – La Première (First), with 9 seats on
the main deck, Affaires (Business), with 80 seats on the upper deck, and Voyageur (Economy), with 449
seats divided between the two decks.
The A380 is the world’s most environmentally-friendly aircraft – with less than 75 grams of CO2 produced
per passenger per kilometre – and the quietest in its category. Its spacious cabin offers passengers
additional comfort. On board this aircraft, Air France has introduced changing lighting moods adapted to
the various stages of the flight, meeting points and relaxation areas, as well as a completely new in-flight
entertainment system with wider screens.
Air France has ordered twelve A380s, four of which have already been delivered.
In winter 2010, Air France and KLM will operate 52 weekly return flights between Paris, Amsterdam and
Japan:
- to and from Tokyo-Narita : 31 flights, including 21 AF flights (of which 7 operated by JAL on a code-share
basis) and 10 KLM flights;
- to and from Tokyo-Haneda: 7 AF flights operated by JAL on a code-share basis, starting 31 October
2010 ;
- to and from Osaka-Kansai : 14 flights, including 7 AF flights and 7 KLM flights.
With this large number of flights, Air France and KLM offer passengers a wide choice of departure times
both ways with daily flights leaving both in the morning, afternoon and evening.

Crowds greet A380 at Manchester Airport

Enthusiastic welcome for new Emirates service

By Lester Haines • Get more from this author

Posted in Science, 1st September 2010 11:34 GMT

An enthusiastic crowd greeted the first Airbus A380 to land at Manchester Airport earlier this afternoon, marking the end of an 18-month, £10m upgrade of the airport to accommodate the beast.

Emirates will operate a daily Manchester-Dubai service, meaning the former has the honour of being the first regional airport anywhere in the world to handle A380 flights every day.

Manchester Airport's MD Andrew Cornish enthused: "This is a really significant day for aviation here in the North West and we aim to celebrate it appropriately."

Emirates Airline and group executive vice chairman, Maurice Flanagan, joined the love-in with: “This is a historic moment for Emirates as we bring our 21st century superjumbo to the North West 20 years after our first flight from the region. Our Manchester service has been an incredible success story, and we’re delighted to be opening the next chapter today."

Gulf News explains that Emirates' A380 flight "EK017 leaves Dubai daily at 07:55 hours and arrives in Manchester at 12:25 hours", while "EK018 departs Manchester at 14:10 hours, arriving in Dubai at 00:15 hours the next day".

The Manchester Evening News has updated coverage on the A380's arrival here.

PICTURES: Manchester arrival signals A380’s 'regional airport' debut
By Max Kingsley-Jones

The Airbus A380 made its scheduled service debut at a "regional" airport yesterday, when Emirates began operating to Manchester from its Dubai hub. More than 10,000 spectators travelled to the airport to witness the aircraft's arrival.

The airport will be served daily by the 517-seater. The A380's first return service to Dubai on 1 September broke Manchester's record for the largest number of passengers ever to depart on a scheduled flight.

"We've invested around £10 million to upgrade the airport's infrastructure to accommodate the flagship of the Emirates fleet," says Manchester airport managing director Andrew Cornish.

Mr Flanagan added: "People are realising that this is the passenger aircraft of the future. As a result of our announcement in Berlin, we have had enquiries from more than 20 airports across the world, asking whether Emirates would fly the A380 to their airports. These aircraft are a dream to travel in and a dream to have at your disposal for expansion. They are extremely popular with our passengers and where we deploy them, they fill up almost immediately - running at over 90 percent load factor."

Gli altri a380 destinati alla qantas su che rotte saranno impiegati? Fra^?
Non credo siano state preannunciate finora. Io so di qualche rumour (che per correttezza non posso rivelare) ma vi posso dire nulla di strano o completamente inatteso. In generale comunque ci sara' un rafforzamento delle attuali rotazioni.

Ho trovato quest articoletto vecchio

http://www.lagenziadiviaggi.it/notizia_standard.php?IDNotizia=154878&IDCategoria=1

«Ho scritto oggi al mio presidente per dirgli che se l’A380 venisse in Italia da domani potremmo riempirlo piuttosto facilmente»: così Massimo Massini, direttore generale di Emirates in Italia, ha confermato i colloqui in corso per portare finalmente in Italia, anzitutto a Malpensa, il nuovo grande aeromobile di Airbus, «probabilmente molto presto».

«Andiamo da chi ci chiama»
Le premesse ci sono quasi tutte: «Noi andiamo da chi ci chiama – ha spiegato Massini – e Malpensa ci fa proposte concrete, ne stiamo parlando. Anche la struttura di Fiumicino tecnicamente potrebbe in tempi brevi accogliere l’A380. I problemi sono limitati all’handling, e bisognerebbe costruire il doppio pontile di imbarco e adeguare il sistema alle dimensioni dell’aeromobile, tecnicamente una volta presi gli accordi basterebbero pochi mesi, ma c’è da affrontare una normativa molto complessa», che tra l’altro non dipende tutta e solo dalle gestioni aeroportuali. Malpensa dunque sarebbe pronta ad assumere l’impegno dell’upgrading strutturale, evidentemente in cambio di precise garanzie dal vettore di Dubai.

di che sta parlando quando parla di normativa complessa????

Nel frattempo, è giunta una "nuova coda" per il primo esemplare cinese (fonte il solito a380production.com).
