Qantas Finishes Ferrying Airbus A380s To The United States From Australia
That’s a wrap, folks. The final Airbus A380 for Qantas has arrived in Los Angeles (LAX) ahead of its intended storage amid a global downturn in demand. VH-OQC landed in the morning hours at LAX on July 27th.
The final Qantas A380 arrives in LAX from Australia
VH-OQC was the 10th Qantas A380 to arrive in Los Angeles ahead of its entrance into long-term storage. Another two A380s are in Dresden, Germany, where they are undergoing interior retrofits. The first A380 for Qantas arrived in California earlier this month. Since then, multiple A380s have made their way off to the Mojave Desert.
The Airbus A380s are entering long-term storage in the California desert. Qantas is not anticipating flying its A380s for about three years– if not longer– and that requires a lot of careful planning and coordination. Victorville, one of the most well-known aircraft storage locations in the world, is ideally suited to take care of the planes until Qantas needs them back.
