Remarkable story boarding. Nearly like a mini-movie! Well done!! But I would have liked to have seen the takeoff and then the landing at Frankfurt!!! With a bit of their inflight conversation and experience with the aircraft now that its back after a couple of years!!
@@chespocket1756 Emirates uses the a380 differently than other airlines. They are still pushing for the hub and spoke routing everything through Dubai when the rest of the industry has shifted to direct routes.
Except I wish they would just have people who only know a little English to speak in their native language and use translation subtitles. I admire anyone attempting to learn and speak a foreign language, but clarity has to come first.
Misleading title. This is NOT the "World's Largest Aircraft Graveyard". I'd bet Pinal Airpark beats it (commercial) and Davis Monthan (military) easily. Then there is Mojave, Kingman, Victorville, etc.
This is a great story, we need to hear more of. Far too many aircraft, with liitle time on them, where idled, during the pandemic. They need to be back in the sky.
World's largest? 😆 Not close. But still a lot of good video in this documentary. It's a few years old now and probably many many more of the birds parked here have already returned to the air.
I cant believe this very expansive and state of the art airplanes are decommissioned and cannot be used at all, its sad and its kinda wasteful some countries cannot afford such really hitech aircrafts, I just hope they can just find another way to utilize these giants again
Thanks, but you didn't do justice to the title. I expected to see the entire story from aircraft arrival and storage procedures to revival preparations.
It's nice to see Lufthansa bring back the A-340. That plane never got a fair shake because of its fuel use and overall performance. It deserves a second chance now that some of the A380's are being retired. As I watched the end of this, I found this exact plane in the air flying from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to Frankfurt. Wonderful job by LH getting her back in service. BTW, this may be the biggest aircraft graveyard in Europe, but it is NOT the biggest in the world. There are 250 aircraft here...but over 3,000+ in Arizona.
The pilot is probably doing his post maintenance inspection and acceptance for flight inspection before taking it back into service. The damaged part may have little or no bearing on safety of flight, but it may be an unusual part for being replaced so limited number of available spares so it will cost more to source or get it manufactured.
Having watched a more recent documentary on the A 380 arilines are clamering to get hold of wh atever A380's they can find because of the sudden increase in long haul passengers
I was surprised to read that they build c.250 A380 over 20 years. That's a pretty decent number. I wonder though whether the entire lifetime of the program was as profitable as they hoped.

6:28 this A380 is flying again now (D-AIML)
All Lufthansa A380‘s are back🥳
Great to see on flight radar this beauty is still flying. Noticed she is covering flights from Frankfurt to Chicago a lot recently.😄

It's crazy to think how many a380 aircraft are being scrapped and dismantled. Some of the aircraft being scrapped have very little time on them.
There’re not scrapped in the sense of being completely broken down and recycled. Most are here only for storage
@christerry1773 According to airfleets, 19 a380 aircraft have been scraped.
@ I heard somewhere, don’t know it was that high. I wish they showed more of the breakdown and smelting process.
They are now highly sought after. They NOT being scrapped they being revamped ! This is mainly taking place by Emirates

Great Documentary.....welldone

Alice Springs, Australia probably beats it as well.
The narrative says ‘Europe’s Largest’.
@@mattburns815why doesn’t the title say that then too?!
Even worse is to call it a graveyard. It’s a mere parking lot for most of these planes.
@@mattburns815reread the caption again
Very cool always wanted to visit these places
Very interesting. Thanks for the video.
The US has over 3000 aircraft parked in Arizona alone. Moses Lake has 140 737 MAX aircraft parked. Alice Springs in Australia has over 100.
SCLA in Victorville has 500 aircraft in storage. There is also Mojave.
Ur getting in a pissing contest over who owns the world's biggest airplane parking lots or scrap yards. Really.
@@marcbyrnes293It's about accuracy. Personally, I prefer watching documentaries that don't have glaring, easy to fact check, errors in the title.
Very educational and informative. Thanks for the walkthrough. never knew such a place existed.
lol at the guy @3:21 who bumps his head, showing why they all wear bumpcaps.
i thought i was crazy when i saw that 😭
i love the overdramic reaction to a part thats there to be damage xD
Thanks for the visit to the Teruel Graveyard...
22:41 lady mechanic good suspenseful job, she is lovely too.
This is wonderful 😢
great to see 3 ex BA 747-400 still in storage there
very exciting and emotional video
Very interesting! Be great if people could have tours!
As soon as she said 2 pilots awaken the plane, I switched off, it takes a couple of engineers to "awaken" a plane before any pilot gets near it
Very interesting thankyou
I love watching documentaries like this
Feeling the love from Ghana 🇬🇭
The A340-600 is a beautiful (albeit thirsty) aircraft. I’ve flown the Iberia A340-6 many times. I will miss seeing them at airports around the world.
Just slap some speedtape on it and send it.
Bob and steve will move it whenever you like cockpit casual 😅
@@al-fb3rl Haven't heard from them in a while!
Beautiful
Great Watch

Just consider the money parked out there 😯
Modern airliner need a constant series of checks and the batteries turned on with the systems livened up to keep the computers alive.
Nice documentary
South African Airways spotted ❤🇿🇦
Just park em in Roswell New Mexico. They would avoid the moisture issues all together they wouldn’t have to put desiccant in the engines at all.

I need to go shopping
Il est mignon le Matthias on en ferait bien son quatre heures
Spotted a SAA plane
Seeing A380s here already is so sad!
Before they were built
Boeing said it wouldn’t work
🤩
When are we going to see the world’s largest aircraft graveyard?
That's a pretty big screw up for an aircraft that is being picked up...
The pilot decided to fly the airplane with the missing fairing ? I don’t think they made that decision 😂😂
The pilot has the final say
Burns more kerosene all right, but what a beauty
America has one to in Navada in the desert some planes are stored some are scraped others are reactivated
Goodyear AZ
Why are pilots doing this? Shouldn't be B1/B2 engineers the one doing the "back to service and ground tests" inspection?
The pilot is probably doing his post maintenance inspection and acceptance for flight inspection before taking it back into service.

@@leehoughton9068 the right answer is to repaired, also it would have been better to fly without removing it.
Speed tape the damage and press on. Get an E/A. Change the fairing later.
Having watched a more recent documentary on the A 380 arilines are clamering to get hold of wh atever A380's they can find because of the sudden increase in long haul passengers
When was this filmed? What year?
Rumor has it that after a plane is retrieved , a peaceful demonstration of protest emerges from a few snakes, spiders and scorpions..
LOL!
I thought only the Boeing 747's and Airbus A380's had the 4 engines, am I wrong? Because those are my favorites of the Boeing's and Airbus's.
The world's biggest graveyards in America is now it has over 5,000 airplanes
Goodyear AZ ?
At 3:23, BONK on the head lol.
I was surprised to read that they build c.250 A380 over 20 years. That's a pretty decent number. I wonder though whether the entire lifetime of the program was as profitable as they hoped.
They lost billions
Airbus a380's a al maktoum international airport
The largest airplane graveyard is Davis monthan Air Force base in AZ. this is a little dot on a map compared to that behemoth
So the girl drove the lift into the wing
Don’t tell anyone
Looks more like a an active storage facility than a graveyard,like valet parking for airlines inventory,wonder what the parking fees add up to..🤔😂.. 💶💶 no pay $$➡️..no plane🕴✋🚫✈
Curious too..if the airline that owns them doesn't reuse them again, would they go up for auction ??? before being dismantled for spare parts or scrap ??

A380 is having a very short life 😢 and 747 is no longer built 😢
747 - 1600built
A380 - 251 built
Resume @4:00

Interesting story but geeeee guys, get a lighter safety jackets , you are in the dessert for crying out load.
How many $$$$$ to park a A380
Not even remotely CLOSE to the World's Largest. Get real.
World's largest, in Europe. ;) But I do think it has more A380s than Alice Springs, so it has that going for it.
I think the title has to be read as 'The graveyard for worlds largest passenger aircraft'.
I think the world’s largest aircraft graveyard is in Arizona or something.
@@ChessieSystem1973correct
It says Europe's largest not world's largest. The narrator says it.
Lufthansa is putting its Airbus 380 back on service... Some engines are replaced by a new, more efficient Rolls-Royce
Why are they wearing a Uniform , and the A I Voice is disturbing..
Can't we use them for housing? Gardens and patios on the wings.
Not even close to the amount of planes at AMARC ,DAVIS MONTHAN
Reconditioned / second hand planes ? Sell them to Africa ?
Title of video is Worlds Largest. That is just Europes largest.
"EUROPE S LARGEST PARKING AREA FOR OUT OF WORK AIRPLANES". English accent, American script.😆
What is this video labeled a graveyard. Some aircraft will be destroyed but for most, it’s merely a storage lot.
A 380 on graveyard how come.
wheres the frigging landing sisters
Do like Boeing,, put duct tape on top of the Wings
How does an airline pilot not speak English?
not first time cameras
What did you say ? What .
Title is world's largest ... first audio in video: Europe's largest.... Fake title, downvoted
The world economy is crumbling do to irresponsible people .
It was a plan-demic.
So it is not the world’s largest graveyard. I wonder if perhaps you’re not very bright. Certainly seems to be the case doesn’t it.
What a waste
I no like to watch
Boneyard
Is not the largest
Clicked on this expecting the U.S graveyard out west, California or Nevada, not one l need to read subtitles.
Your ego is damaged now?
It is all in English
Is the female narrator AI? She is really on top of her pronunciations.
@ don’t think so. That voice seems really familiar like it’s been around for years.
The pilots don’t bring them back to life!🤮
