About the airline
Global Airlines Limited was a British virtual airline that had planned to acquire a fleet of four Airbus A380 aircraft. The company purchased its sole aircraft in May 2023 and claimed to be the first new Airbus A380 owner in eight years. The company initially proposed to operate its aircraft with five classes of service including an uncertified "Gamer class", but later announced a conventional three-class cabin configuration. The company operated its first flight, from Glasgow to New York-JFK, on 15 May 2025, under a damp lease contract with Hi Fly Malta. Following a mixed response, reports emerged that a Saudi investment fund might take a stake in the company, which would become an ACMI operator. After only four transatlantic flights, the single aircraft owned by the airline was placed into long-term storage in Tarbes, France on 16 July 2025, with no known return-to-service date. The company was liquidated by court order on November 4, 2026.
