The world's largest airliner Airbus A380 touched down in Chengdu on Wednesday, marking that China Southern Airlines (CZ) officially launched daily A380 services between Beijing and Chengdu.
It is the first time the Superjumbo operated passenger flight to Chengdu and its second appearance after transporting quake relief materials by Airbus in 2008.
The inaugural flight CZ6183 arrived at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (CTU) at 2:16 p.m. with the return flight landing in Beijing at 7:59 p.m., Wednesday. Passenger load factor of the inaugural flight reached 85 percent, with 90 percent of load factor on the return flight CZ6184.
As the only Chinese airline operating the A380 Superjumbo, the Guangzhou-based carrier currently has five A380s in its fleet, which mainly serve routes from Guangzhou to Beijing, Sydney and Los Angeles, and from Beijing to Shenzhen.
Specifically, the Guangzhou-based carrier started flying its A380 Superjumbo from Beijing to Amsterdam from June 20, marking the first European gateway that the Guangzhou-based carrier serves with an A380.
