Big dream seems worth coming true


Maskargo has flown a Malaysia Airlines' A380 to London carrying only cargo. The flight departed Kuala Lumpur on 28 April 2020 with 26 t of cargo made up of mostly e-commerce goods originating from Guangzhou.

 

CEO Ibrahim Mohamed Salleh: "With the volume of cargo increasing coupled with lesser cargo capacity into Heathrow, we had no choice but to utilise the biggest aircraft in the fleet to meet our customers’ expectations." And it did not return empty, but was also fully laden, primarily with pharma products and mail.

 

The A380 which did never turn into a full-freighter version, seems to gain interest these days. Lufthansa Technik which implements projects for more than 15 different aircraft types, says that its "support of the operational change of a first Airbus A380 of an undisclosed customer" has now also been rewarded.
