This Emirates A380 taxies by us in preparation for a long flight to Dubai. The world’s largest passenger airliner, the A380 made its first flight in April 2005 and began commercial service with Emirates in 2008. Emirates is the largest Airbus A380 operator with 116 planes in service. On 17 March 2021, the final Airbus A380 (manufacturing serial number 272) made its maiden flight from Toulouse to Hamburg for cabin outfitting before being delivered to Emirates. The tailfins of Emirates aircraft depict a section of the United Arab Emirates flag.
