Loved your presentation, With so many years of Aviation related watch time, TH-cam suggested your channel today only, Makes me imagine how deep even a good content be on youtube.
That was a night to cherish forever and indeed it was a sad moment for all of us. The way that beautiful beast disappeared into the clouds that night had me in tears. The Mighty Flying Whale from China Southern Airlines will definitely be missed. Thank u Peter and Josh for capturing that special moment. 👌🏾😉👏🏾
Just discovered out this channel today and loving the commentary you guys did especially the JetBlue and Emirates A380 shorts😂 I thought I was watching f1 for a second there, love it! ❤
I checked flightaware with the tail number B-6139, and this aircraft flew from CAN TO VCV on 21DEc2022, then shortly later flew to MHV 21 minute flight..Mojave is a moth ball place. It's not a scrap yard. Maybe we will see this aircraft again.
True…it was actually announced that airbus will return the a380 production after they said they wouldn’t produce anymore, the reason was that they were surprising air travel demand
Heard from internal sources that the deal, which CZ sold these a380 to Boeing, was part of the compensation plan for their 737MAX grounding. CZ struggled to profit from a380 in the last decade due. 77W/787 work better for them as CZ has similar multi-hub model like UA/AA.
I took one to the Philippines. It was owned by Korean Airlines. It was one of my best flights. Philippine Airlines should buy some. They are always short on non-stop flights.

You know I heard that almost nobody's A380's were operating in the black. Just too hard to sell that many seats at prices that make most trips profitable. The article I read said that only flight that operates successfully with this aircraft was Japan Airlines from Honolulu to Tokyo. It's also sad that most of these big boys sat in mothballs for two years during the pandemic.
Hey man, Japan Airlines don't have any Airbus A380. All Nippon Airways or ANA operates 3 beautiful Airbus A380 from Tokyo to Honolulu and vice versa, profitably. Airlines are bringing back their Airbus A380s due to the fact that travel has picked up when most travel restrictions were lifted.
Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, ANA, Emirates, Korean air, Asiana Airlines, Qantas , Etihad and British Airways are all still flying it or bringing it back. Surprising to see that China Southern is backing out. there must be more than enough passengers in China to be able to use it domestically atleast
So two of the airline's five A380s are currently still in China and are stored by Jet Midwest for China Southern, which means they could be reactivated at any time. From January 2023, the B-6139 will be registered with the company under the registration N115PK.
I love the 747 and a380 and I live in Nashville where our international airport is more of a regional airport. I do hope that the a380 and maybe just maybe the 747 come to Nashville but it’s sad to see them go
I guess this may not be the last time we will see China Southern A380s . Just as how even Qantas , Lufthansa retired their A380s but they started their service again so we can hope for the China Southern too
I flew on this particular flight at least 4-6 times, all before the pandemic, the last time I flew on this aircraft type and airline is just one year before the pandemic. The pandemic uprooted my travel plans to China since then, otherwise, I could have flew this flight again by 2 more times. I now have a new plan to China sometimes this year, unfortunately, this particular route is now replaced with a 777-300ER.
So when something like this happens, what will happen with the pilots? Will they continue flying anA380 just with a different airline? Or do they have to switch plane types?
It’s a shame that these airlines are retiring the super jumbos. We’re gonna need them because air travel demand keeps growing. They’re gonna make a return. At some point the answer can’t be to make larger single level planes because that will get unrealistic very fast. You can’t build multiple airports in one city because of the environmental damages as well as the potential need to destroy thousands of homes and businesses. The superjumbos are the solution to the growing demand of air travel and congestion at airports. We’ll see them again, most likely when we have extremely efficient engines or when Airbus finishes developing its zero-emissions engine.
@@pjotrtje0NL doesn’t matter whether airlines use point to point or hub and spoke. There still is massive congestion and demand for air travel, and the super jumbos are BY FAR the best solution to those problems
For me it's one thing to retire the fleet but to scrap them too is just a waste given how they should still have at least a good 10 years of operation left in them. I feel like they should be stored but not scrapped for the very reason you mentioned.
Unbelievable that CS are withdrawing the 380 from service when other carriers are reintroducing them back into service (Lufthansa, British Airways, Singapore and Etihad)
Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, ANA, Emirates, Korean air, Asiana Airlines, Qantas , Etihad and British Airways are all still flying it or bringing it back
Although this was only five months ago, A380's are being bought back out of retirement for some airlines. I don't know if this is the case for Southern China Airlines? I believe it is only temporary though? Is it the case that there is such demand for the more fuel efficient planes, that they can't be produced fast enough? Thus causing Luthaansa and Quantas to use the A380 as a 'stop gap'.
sad but beautiful. thank you. I've worked with A380s since early 2000s and China Southern, one of the most professional air crews around. amazing.
... Airbus setup a "test flight" , may be at Toulouse, in April, 2005. A commercial flight by Singapore Airlines began in October, 2007. ...

In which year was that?

Thank you for capturing CZ327! As a China Southern fan, I also feel deeply emotioned that it is end of a era for CSN.
WOW! Sad to see any aircraft come to an End, especially this Super massive one-of-a-kind aircraft. End of an Era.
That was incredible. Thank you good guys.

Aren't these planes "young enough" to be of profitable service still? I don't understand it.
Love this livery on this plane! Thanks guys!
I feel so sad seeing this marvel of aviation leave LA for the last time, it was the first A380 I saw when I joined the L.A Flights channel
Love the 380 Thank you for posting this.
Just discovered out this channel today and loving the commentary you guys did especially the JetBlue and Emirates A380 shorts😂 I thought I was watching f1 for a second there, love it! ❤
That is so awesome Thank you Peter and Joshua
oh man that's phenomenal!! ✈️👍🏼
Capture every moment of these cherished behemoths, for future generations to ponder their glory.
Beautiful shots guys. Job well done. There is always one more ( plane ) thou. 😊
As a common China Southern flyer sad to see it gone, didn’t even had a chance to get onboard… only tried Emirates A380 and it’s amazing
R.I.P. this A380 is exemptionally special as it’s my 1st A380 i spotted.
Awww rest in peace ❤ a380 airplane ✈️ .Nice one Aviation Geek
A380s were magnificent... so were the 747s
Fantastic video my friend!
**LIKED**
Nothing beats the majestic A380-861!
10 surprise minutes of LA Flights?! It's a St Patrick's Day miracle!
Excellent commentating! Very professional and enjoyable.
Love this channel keep up the good work!
Love ❤️ 😍 the Airbus A380. Will miss them 😢 dearly.
Fare well A380😢 you will be missed
...incredible footage...yet sad
I don't remember watching this live but it awesome to watch
Wow the a350 ulr and a380 in one shot? How nice
Isn't this an old video? It was around 2022 that the China Southern airlines A380 made its final departure from LAX. What a pity!
Amazing work guys!
Amazing sound
I flew on that 380 in 2015 to Guangzhou via Philippines 😢
As a Chinese, I feel sad to see her leaving behind. The A380 is definitely the greatest creation in the field of human civil aviation!
Although it is an impressive plane, the 747 will always be Queen of the sky's.
@@hounddog040 that’s facts a380 was a failing product for many
Amazing footage ...love it!
God Bless the China Southern A380 for taking people to their location.
Nice video my friend ❤✈️
Grat shot of that last A380.
I flew a China Southern A380 from LAX to Guangzhou once.
Good morning watching from Silang Cavite Philippines. God bless you

I flew this A380 from LAX to CAN twice. Smoothest flights ever. Absolutely no turbulence for the entire 14 hours.
I flew Chinasouthern some years back with my to go to Phillipines. First time on 380.
I really miss the night shots .
LA is the best airport for plane spotting.
The coolest state in America😎
The first and last a380 for china farewell China Southern 😢🎉
So beautiful but so sad...
hello and greats from Austria.
Thanks god I still can fly the A380 with our Emirates, and I do so very often
The airlines will regret retiring these jumbos once air travel demand rebounds and the numbers are already showing recovery is underway.
Very true. The Airbus A380s are already back in service on trunk routes. Love the A380.
Yes they will regresa it
True…it was actually announced that airbus will return the a380 production after they said they wouldn’t produce anymore, the reason was that they were surprising air travel demand
They go into storage until the demand is needed

Well done guys
Beautiful 💜
I didn’t think they were going live until Saturday
This is a highlight video of a broadcast aired November 6, 2022.
There are 4 of them still parked in Palmdale.
I remember reading it from LAX to CAN, and on a 3 hour flight from CAN to PEK
It is remarkable the machines humans can create.
Still very disappointed for China Southern to retire the A380s
R.I.P. China Southern A380 you will be remembered.
Great to see that last time

Missing why are they being retired. Is it from service in general or just this particular airline ?!

So when something like this happens, what will happen with the pilots? Will they continue flying anA380 just with a different airline? Or do they have to switch plane types?
Isn't that super early to retire a class of aircraft? How old is the China Southern A380 fleet?
Not old it's a shame how these aircraft can't even live like 20 years 😢
use to fly that 380, most comfortable flight ever to Asia !
