A380 saturday
The Airbus A380, the world’s largest passenger aircraft, will land at Manchester Airport for the first time on Saturday as part of a series of flights around the North West.
The aircraft will perform a standard approach into Manchester Airport at 1.20pm above the runway before heading to Liverpool.
The aircraft is likely to draw crowds of people to the airport keen to catch a glimpse of the double decker plane.
Vantage points include the top levels of the Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 car parks as well as the Aviation Viewing Park, the airport said.
“The Airbus A380 has strong links with the North West as well as playing an important role in the future of the aviation industry,” said Andrew Cornish, the airport’s managing director.
