Video Description

After spending an unforgettable week in Japan back in May, part of the journey back to Canada involved a bit of a detour to Hawaii to fly on ANA's Airbus A380! The famous "Flying Honu" flies exclusively between Tokyo and Honolulu, and so this made for a great opportunity to fly on one of the rarest A380s in the world! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Become a Channel Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN1SQ1Ffsm_13OQu7MwHXbA/join Website: https://www.alexpraglowski.ca Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexpraglowskiaviation Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/AlexPraglowski Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AlexPAviation -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- FLIGHT INFORMATION Airline: All Nippon Airways (ANA/NH) Aircraft: Airbus A380-841 (A388) Flight Number: NH184 Seat: 42K (Economy) Livery: Blue Sea Turtle - "Lani" Engines: 4x Rolls Royce Trent 970 Registration: JA381A Route: Tokyo Narita (NRT) - Honolulu (HNL) Callsign: ALL NIPPON 184 Super Runway used: 34L (NRT) - 4R (HNL) Date filmed: May 2023 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- SOURCES Skymark A380 Saga: https://web.archive.org/web/20110221114726/http://www.airbus.com/newsevents/news-events-single/detail/skymark-airlines-of-japan-confirms-order-for-four-a380s/all-news/news-category/press_release/ https://www.reuters.com/article/us-airbus-skymark-airlines-order-idINKBN0FY05C20140729 https://aviationweek.com/air-transport/airports-networks/ana-beats-delta-skymark-turnaround-mission ANA Adds A380s: https://centreforaviation.com/analysis/reports/all-nippon-airways-and-the-a380-airbus-wins-a-new-customer-in-return-for-invaluable-skymark-support-260531 https://mainlymiles.com/2018/12/14/ana-reveals-first-a380-it-didnt-really-want/ https://www.anahd.co.jp/group/en/pr/201804/20180425-2.html U.S. DOT Passenger Numbers: https://www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.gov/files/2020-12/US%20International%20Air%20Passenger%20and%20Freight%20Statistics%20for%20December%202019.pdf -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Outro song - "Take Flight" by Nyhtian: https://youtu.be/bCTTwQ_269c © Alex Praglowski Aviation 2023 This video is the property of Alex Praglowski Aviation and may not be used for any purpose without prior permission.
