A new startup airline aims to revolutionize transatlantic flights using the world’s largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A380. Global Airlines is set to launch its inaugural flight from the UK to John F. Kennedy International Airport amid hopes of changing passenger experiences.

Despite lacking an official Air Operator Certificate, reports indicate that the company is ready for its first flight scheduled on May 15, 2025. Global’s first service will be operated by Portuguese airline Hi Fly, with ticket bookings managed by TravelOpedia LTD, offering returns starting at approximately $902 for economy seating, with premium options available.

“We’ve Got A Lot of People That Want to Fly”
Global Airlines has two Airbus A380s in its fleet and aims to deliver more streamlined travel experiences devoid of long queues and poor service. According to founder James Asquith, the airline pledges to present something new in the aviation market.

With no further flights planned after the initial one, how the airline will perform remains uncertain. However, Asquith expressed optimism about competing with major carriers like British Airways by providing superior service,

“People can be critical, but you’ve got a good bunch of people trying to do something for good reasons here, and we’re almost there,” Asquith stated.
