Google Earth shows Qantas A380s sitting idle in the desert

Jan 22, 2021, 10:48 PM

And in normal times you would see a couple of A380's parked up there each day, between early morning arrival from Australia and evening departures back. A road runs right past the facility, between it and the beach and at a level below, so you would look up and see the aircraft close ...
What's next for Qantas first class?

Qantas won’t want to be unable to respond should their major international routes like LA bounce back quickly, which they will as more people get vaccinated and governments loosen the rules. Those 380’s could be back in service sooner than we think and full.
