Hi Fly’s Airbus A380 is being dismantled in France.
Correction: according to AirbusA380fanclub the A380 in this photo is not MIP but ex Singapore Air A380 SKE, which briefly was registered 9H-DPE.
The Airbus A380-800, with Maltese registration 9H-MIP, was delivered to the airline back in July 2018. It was withdrawn from service on 6th November 2017 by Singapore Airlines and was the only A380 available for a wet-lease.
Tarmac Aerosave have begun dismantling the Hi Fly Airbus A380 in Tarbes, France. This A380 operated its last flight on March 16th. The plane has been parked there since and is now being dismantled.
Multiple vital parts have already been salvaged from the aircraft, including the landing gear and tail section. These parts will likely be used as spare parts on other aircraft.
The aircraft had operated its last revenue flight from Shanghai to Hamburg via Seoul back on December 15th last year.
