UK's Global Airlines refocuses A380 hopes on Maldives
Global Airlines (London City) has revised its launch plans and will now aim to serve the Maldives when it resumes operations. Chief executive James Asquith said the carrier aims to return to service "certainly this year", or before Christmas 2026, after its sole A380-800, 9H-GLOBL (msn 120), completes a heavy maintenance check. The aircraft, operated for Global by Hi Fly Malta, was parked at Dresden after the last of its grand total of four passenger flight in May 2025, before being ferried to Lourdes/Tarbes two months later. Asquith attributed the delay to MRO capacity constraints.
The start-up also plans to acquire another A380-800 to expand transatlantic operations. Global Airlines does not hold an air operator's certificate.
