Global Airlines offers JFK service in May
March 26, 2025
Global Airlines, the A380 start-up, is due to operate special direct flights from Manchester and Glasgow to New York’s JFK Airport in May 2025.
The first flight from Glasgow to JFK will take off on May 15, 2025, with a return flight scheduled for May 19, 2025. The Manchester to JFK service will follow soon after, on May 21, 2025, and returning on May 25, 2025.
These new routes will be operated using Global Airlines’ Airbus A380 aircraft, which have been fully refurbished.
Having launched in 2023 with a fleet exclusively comprised of Airbus A380s, Global Airlines has yet to confirm an official start date for regular commercial operations.
The company originally slated a start date in 2024, which has since been pushed back with the latest indications that it plans to start commercial operations in 2025.
Its first aircraft arrived in Portugal for painting in January 2025.
