Crowds Gather To Greet Airbus A380 At Manchester Airport

Thousands of people gathered at Manchester airport on Wednesday to greet the world’s largest commercial airliner the Airbus A380. The plane which carries 517 passengers in a double-decker style was making its first arrival at Manchester airport.

The Emirates plane set off from Dubai and arrived at Manchester at 12.25pm, crowds commented on a special day and one to remember as the plane made its monumental touchdown.

The airport had spent £10 million on upgrading its airfield to accommodate the huge aircraft and becomes the first regional airport to have a daily A380 service in operation.

Heathrow started taking the arrival of the Airbus back in 2008
