Largest passenger plane landing at Amsterdam

The first visit of the largest passenger plane in the world, an Airbus A380 to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. July 15th 2010 around 9:50AM. Large crowd is gathered alongside the runway. Sunny conditions but wind with gusts to 25 knots.

To this date there are firm orders for 234 planes by 16 customers (one A380 is destined to become a private business jet). 31 planes are deliverd so far and are flying for 5 airliners. Delivery is slowly ramping up to meet demand. There are sufficient orders to keep production until 2015. Break even point for the incredible expensive development is at 430 units sold.

A380

Je hebt er een prachtige film van gemaakt!!! Veruit de beste film van de A380 op Schiphol die ik tot nu toe heb gezien, wetende dat er maar weinig of geen jouw filmpje zullen overtreffen.

Groeten René van der Wal
