New Start - Global Airlines
A later reply on the thread seems to suggest the video was taken from the Challenger that flew in from Lisbon (9H-MIR):

Original post by Global still a bit misleading, though.

Implying untrue information (that the photos were taken on the A380) is dangerous, supposing (for the sake of not inviting attention from Asquith's legal team - he is very wealthy according to the Sunday Times) of course that the shots weren't taken from the big bird.
This was Global's original post:

Does it imply that the video was from the A380? I think it does, although Mr Asquith could argue otherwise. However, it certainly invites the audience to infer that it's exactly where it was filmed from!

With all this obvious bull@@@ about Global, I can only wonder if Asquith's claim to have traveled to every country in the world, by the time he was 24 at a cost of £125k is a bit of a lie

The A380 at Prestwick doesn't look like it's going anywhere anytime soon, it's had the engines and ports taped up

854 posts on this topic yet there is no ‘concrete’ evidence that this was ever a sustainable proposal.
The fact that an A380 has been acquired by ‘Someone’, flown across the Atlantic with its gear down to Prestwick and appears to be put into a mothballed state strikes me as a complete lack of foresight by those behind this venture, and those who put money in to allow this positioning flight to happen. Was PIK intended as a fuel stop only?
Anyone able to confirm that the CAA are involved in the current status of the aircraft?
My PURE guess, thinking into recently published photos of crew uniforms (Using models) is that this is just a stunt to try and deflect from an unconceived idea which has collapsed.
Or, is their anyone from an official, identifiable capacity from ‘Global’ willing to respond not only to this post, but to the negative posts (Me included) which proliferate this thread.
I’m just waiting with baited breath and anticipation to be proved wrong in thinking that both investors. media and SOME members of this forum have been taken for fools.
Anyone promoting ‘Global’ solely via social media is doing so just for the sole intention of attention seeking. Even mainstream aviation sources appear to be now ignoring this debacle.
Will a credible spokesperson for ‘Global’ please come forward and put us out of our thoughts of speculation with regard to what is exactly going on. The negativity on this forum is doing you no favours whatsoever. Failure to do so will prove many of us correct.

Assuming it was flown on a Permit to Fly and possibly limited to 2 flight cycles as part of that Permit to Fly, OK, BYJ does not have customs but it can be arranged so I would have thought it more practical to route YUL-BYJ and not via PIK. It's 300nm or so longer but why route to PIK when there is no maintenance support for an A380? My guess, just a guess, it did not have UKCAA approval and now it's on UK soil, the UKCAA will be all over it. They can be like a dog with a bone when dealing with these types of flights.

UK is no longer part of the EU and this aircraft is EU registered so if ferried on a Permit to Fly, it needed permission to be in UK airspace. Same for Canada, Greenland, Iceland if it overflew those.
Most embarrassing if HiFly didn't secure route permits so still begs the question, why take it to PIK ?

It is quite amusing that whenever the questions or doubts heat up on here, Asquith pops up with some comments on Linkedin. He's posted another puff piece this afternoon about the ferry flight. Mate, if that's as far as you've gotten to date and the aircraft seems to be stuck in Prestwick, I'd keep your head down until you've something to actually say!
