Rare A380 sight in Accra. Also, good to see BA now flying the A350-1000 regularly to Kotoka, instead of the tired, old , 25-30 year old 777! We pay top dollars in tickets for their flights and they should acknowledge that and treat Ghanaians with respect.
I know right🛩😇

With that weather you’d think it was in London
This is our rainy season, where it's mostly 'London weather'...
Nice plane spotting
Would be nice if you do such more videos

Super jumbo 💙
Thank you😇🥰🤗
Wow , one of the smoothest rotate ..Beautiful bird..
I knw right
The best livery, very classy Speedbird.
Ikr👓😇
when this land in Ghana, and does the Ghana Airport offer plane spotting services now?
The date is in the description, but no, the airport does not but there are a few places you can spot planes at a close range.. Check my Instagram page out @flycapt
Why exactly can't the A380s come to Accra regularly, is it because we lack the appropriate gate bridges or gates ? Cause it was able to land and take off so no problem with the runway right.?
I do love this question, and I guess you an avgeek😉.
.
So with the A380, Kotoka International Airport has all it takes to accomodate it, when it comes to the runway and aerobridges, but rather its the airlines' decision, the patronage of tickets to Accra from any country is gonna help determine the aircraft type they wanna bring, and take note, landing fees and parking fees in Ghana are very expensive. Airlines pay landing fees after every landing their aircraft makes and that depends on the aircraft type, weight, size, number of passengers and others. So all these are taken into consideration...
@@flycapt ei , I never knew this , I thoughtany aircraft goes as long as we flying anywhere😂 but the patronage of tickets part i didnt get it well👀
Nice but really wish you hadn't sped up the taxi.
Would not do that on my next post, something big is coming up🔥🥰
What a big boy!
The area look nice
Tnxs🥰
In Mauritius Emirates Airline lands everyday.
Thats great
The BAW A388 taxiing expeditiously at Accra 😂.
Ikr😅
@@flycapt Yes 😂, I love it.
Love aircraft spotting
Glad you do🥰
GOD BLESS VISIONARY LEADER MAHAMA 🙏 ❤
*Was it a technical stop?*
A technical stop is most commonly used to refuel the aircraft, make unexpected essential repairs or to respond to some emergency. No traffic is unloaded or loaded during a technical stop. Note that this stop is not a layover. It is a stop for refueling and passengers may or may not be asked to disembark the plane.
Why did it came to Accra
It had a technical stop over
@@flycapt I guess it was going to south Africa right?
@@bahaviation2070 coming from South Africa ti London but stoped in accra
What a majestic aircraft
It was from South Africa heading to London
It made the United airlines look tiny
😍😍
🙌🏾🙌🏾
THIS AIR PORT IS PRESIDENT MAHAMA TERMINAL 3🙏🙏🙏🙏💯
Was it his pocket money that he used? As for Ghanaians you are so pathetic. He used loans which the Ghanaian tax payer is paying for. So its for Ghanaians not Mahama
@@maameyaaley4739 the import of his message is that he used the Ghanaian money wisely and not for consumption.
A380-841 btw, not A380-941
Thanks for the correction, its been rectified
I've wondered for a long time, what do those lady two digits mean? E.g 777-342, a350-944, what are they for?
@@MM-np4md -The digit is the airplane type according to length
@@intellectualnerd4544 really? 😮 Meaning it's used for different manufacturers if their aircraft are the same length? For example b747-741 and A380-841?
@@MM-np4md For Airbus the last two numbers is the engine type. Take the A380 for example: A380-841 vs A380-861
A380-841s are equipped with the RR Trent 900
A380-861s are equipped with the Engine Alliance GP7000.
For Boeing, usually the numbers represent the airline which it operates for. For example, the Boeing 777-300ER
777-312(ER) for Singapore Airlines
777-322(ER) for United Airlines
777-323(ER) for American Airlines.
Letters can be used too
777-3B5(ER) Korean Air
All in all, Airbus’s back few numbers are for the engine manufacturer and Boeing is the airline that flies it. Another interesting fact is for Boeing when the aircraft is retired from the airline it will retain the numbers. For example an ex Singapore Airlines 757-212 was operated for Delta Air Lines but still retained the “757-212” numbers. Usually Delta’s 757s are “757-232 or 332s”. That’s how you can identify aircraft that which are currently flying for an airline but not the original operator.
I like the weather at the time of this video.
However your airport can't match JKIA Nairobi.
Thank you😇😊
You sure about that, consider subscribing and buckle ur belt as I am gonna be showing you more of the airport here in Ghana
We love our Airport, give him props, it's not about Nairobi, We've never had A380 here or less a United airline grace our presence.
@@MrRascarter
United does not usually fly to Accra? I have flown New York JFK to ACC on Delta. I’m surprised United do not fly Newark to ACC or Washington Dulles to compete.
Can yall stop with these silly comparisons
And so what
Take it this was a medical diversion?
Not at all, it was a technical stopover
