Today is a "historic" day at Fiumicino, not only because. Asiana's A380 landed in Rome for the first time., but because never before have two A380s from two different carriers been at Leonardo Da Vinci at the same time.
What Asiana's A380 was doing at Fiumicino airport today.
In this article:
The news We had launched it in the past few months, and today it arrived on time. the giant double-decker Korean company set to merge with Korean in the coming months.
Flight OZ5613 was a charter route. carried out to bring participants in Rome to a fair dedicated to oriental culture. He will leave again in the afternoon to return to South Korea. It is one of 6 A380s still in service for the company whose livery is set to disappear in the coming months.
Last week this same A380 had flown to Barcelona, again for a special touch that had replicated those of last year.
The first time of two A380s at Fiumicino
The only giants of the skies regularly seen in Italy are those of Emirates. If there are as many as 3 in Milan A380 every day, and often two are side by side, at Fiumicino it hardly ever happens that EK has two of its giants at the same time attached to the finger.
So today there was a kind of historical event, unless memory betrays me, this was the first time that two A380s from two different carriers attached to the Roman airport's fingers at the same time.
A380s at home in Seoul
South Korea shares along with the United Arab Emirates the record of To be the only nation where two carriers had A380s in their fleets.. However, Incheon is the only airport in the world to host two home carriers with the giant made in Airbus since in the Emirates Emirates Emirates flies from Dubai and Etihad from Abu Dhabi.
Unfortunately, however, these machines will not fly much longer. Korean has already begun decommissioning its fleet, and the next ones will be those of Asiana, which, barring schedule changes, is expected to put them into storage at the end of 2026.
