A380-800 | British Airways | G-XLEB | VHHH

The start of a new era for BA and Hong Kong:

British Airways is the first European airline as well as long-haul airline, to fly the Airbus A380 on scheduled flights to the city.

The airline's inaugural service BA25 from London/LHR arrives at 13:00 hours, and is here taxiing to her assigned gate N60.

Flight BA25 used to be flown by a Boeing 744 but has now been taken over by the Airbus A380.

I would like to address a HUGE thank you to the team of British Airways in Hong Kong for making this visit possible as well as for their kind hospitality!
