Emirates retires its first A380

Emirates has retired a first A380. The aircraft involved is A6-EDB, which has been delivered to the airline on 24 October 2008. It was ferried from Dubai to Tarbes-Lourdes on 27 October. The airline has said a few years ago that they would retire their A380s after twelve years of service.

A6-EDB flew its last commercial flight on 23 February, flying back home from Muscat. It was ferried to Dubai-World Central on 28 February for storage, but returned to Dubai on 25 March. It made two test-flights on 14 May and 21 October.
