Global Airlines: The A380 Dream That Fell Apart
Global Airlines promised to bring back the golden age of travel with Airbus A380 flights across the Atlantic. After just two transatlantic roundtrips, its passenger programme stopped. Now, the British startup has been ordered into liquidation.We were onboard its first transatlantic passenger flight from Glasgow to New York in May 2025. In this video, we revisit that launch, trace the movements of its only A380, 9H-GLOBL, and catch up with the aircraft at Tarmac Aerosave in Tarbes, France.
From its early European demonstration flights to the Glasgow and Manchester departures operated by Hi Fly Malta, we look at what Global actually achieved, what it promised, and the maintenance assurances that preceded months on the ground.
The High Court made a winding-up order against Global Airlines Ltd on 4 November 2026, published in The Gazette on 12 November.
