We’re thrilled to announce that the long-awaited Airbus A380X from FlyByWire is officially joining our fleet! This colossal aircraft, known for its double-decker structure and jaw-dropping capacity of 600 passengers, is ready to redefine long-haul flights for our virtual airline. This incredible addition, with its massive wingspan and luxurious design, will primarily operate flights from EGKK – London Gatwick, connecting our passengers to destinations worldwide with unparalleled style and comfort.
ABOUT THE A380X
The Airbus A380X is an aviation icon, celebrated as the largest commercial airliner ever built and a pinnacle of modern engineering. Its sheer size is awe-inspiring, with a wingspan of almost 80 meters and a length of 73 meters, equivalent to more than two blue whales lined up nose to tail! This double-decker aircraft can carry up 600 passengers (in our configuration), and it features wide, open cabin spaces that allow for innovative amenities like lounges, bars, and even showers.
The aircraft is designed for efficiency on long-haul flights, cruising at an altitude of 35,000 feet with a top speed of about Mach 0.89 (nearly the speed of sound). Despite its massive frame, the A380X is surprisingly quiet due to advanced engine technology, making it a pleasant choice for both travelers and those on the ground near airports. Its cockpit boasts cutting-edge avionics and a highly advanced fly-by-wire system, which provides exceptional control and stability, making it easier to handle despite its size.
This aircraft’s blend of luxury, performance, and capacity has made it a symbol of excellence in aviation and a true favorite for international travel routes, especially for airlines focused on providing a premium experience.
The A380X livery is exclusively available for our CometJet pilots. You can download it from the Crew Lounge page on our website, where you’ll have everything you need to prepare for takeoff in this iconic aircraft. If you’d like to take the A380X for a spin, pilots with a minimum of 15 hours flown with CometJet can request access in the❓︙pilot-requests channel on our Discord server.
