Superjumbo to visit Manchester Airport
08.07.08
An Airbus A380 superjumbo will land at Manchester Airport for the first time on Saturday as part of a flight around the North West. The giant aircraft will perform a standard approach into the airport at 13:20 before heading to Liverpool.
The aircraft is likely to draw big crowds to the airport, with people 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, which are all likely to be busy.
typical, A380 due in to my local airport and cannot get out of work to get to the airport. would anyone know which route it will be flying in on (ok, i know it's weather dependant), but anyone any idea of the current planned route. it's just that we get quite a lot of manchester traffic coming over where i live (halifax), and second best option would be to see it flying overhead, even at a greater altitude.
if anyone can assist, would love to hear from you.
