The full video from on the ground in #yemen #humanitariancrisis that @bbc failed to mention in a recent article. I visited Yemen for @UNICEF to highlight a crisis that has put 80% of the population on the brink of famine:

We did it! Our first @globalairlines transatlantic a380 flight and I could not be more proud of everyone involved to make this truly historical feat happen. This was our aircraft blasting out of the Mojave on its multi-leg trip. This was meant to be impossible, but what a super-human group of people who have a burning passion to make aviation better. Thank you to warriors and the best crew I could have ever dreamed of @hifly_airline. Also a huge thanks to @Airbus and their total dedication to safety and the countless hours to make this flight happen. To @MojaveAirport and @GPAPassenger for being the best hosts possible. Thank you to the @FAANews and #BCA for returning our aircraft to service. There are many others I will mention over the coming days, but for now, my main feeling remains determination. We have more work to do, and big plans. #a380 #airbus 📸: @maurerphoto (what amazing shots departing Mojave - thank you!)

SNEAK PEAK - Our @globalairlines Cabin Crew uniforms continue to evolve as design work continues towards the finished product. These are not quite our final finished uniforms but they are getting closer to it - and with one of the questions I get the most being: “when are Global hiring cabin crew?” - well, this felt the right time to share after our first aircraft took to the sky. Trust me, we are so excited to bring on the most amazing cabin crew out there, and create a lovely ‘work’ environment. We want people to feel like family at Global, and to love their passion for flying around the world, with great layovers, and good pay. All I can say for now is…soon, but by god I can’t wait! #globalairlines #cabincrew #flightattendants #a380

It’s a big day at @globalairlines - we have taken full 100% ownership of MSN120 and registered the aircraft. Buying an aircraft outright with no debt, no lease and no financing is no small task, and one that our team have done a fantastic job to bring over the line. We set out at Global to do things differently, and build strong foundations to operating an airline. Some things take a little longer to do when you have full asset ownership, but we are convinced this will set Global up well in the long run. A very proud day, and well done to the team at Global. A very big few weeks ahead, and lots more to come that we have been busy working on behind the scenes. #globalairlines #a380 A huge thanks to Jet Midwest for being fantastic counterparts to deal with on this transaction.

2023 was kind of a great year until @TeamMessi decided to do a thing and knock us off the Top Stories during our big moment - oh well, I guess he is kind of a big deal! @globalairlines #globalairlines

A gigantic vertical stabiliser (tailfin if you like), or a tiny little man up there? This really puts into perspective the massive size of our super jumbos! @globalairlines #globalairlines #a380

💺✈️ A huge piece of @globalairlines news yesterday, and just a small sneak peak of our future cabins…the full product will be unveiled very shortly, and it’s all looking AMAZING. I couldn’t be more proud to be partnering with @JET_Maintenance for our a380 cabin refurbishment and refitting. A huge undertaking which shows the size and scope of JetMS and Avis Solutions. It’s been a true pleasure dealing with them and I look forward to a long partnership. #JetMS #a380 #globalairlines #cabins

🌎 Countdown begins - our @globalairlines a380s are prepping with our partners at Hi Fly - crews are constantly updated and trained in A380 operations on a recurring basis. Here Captains Antonios Efthymiou and Joao Domingues are getting ready for a round of circuits to keep up with their recency on the Super Jumbo. Both are also experienced A330/340 Skippers - countdown to flight. #globalairlines
