- Qanta Airbus 380 after just a few days after being in long-term storage, encountered two problems. The first happened during QF1’s iteration on July 13, while the second happened during QF2’s iteration on July 14.
- Due to the failure of the autopilot system on the first flight, RVSM criteria were not met. The flight continued to London, where it made a secure landing around 80 minutes later.
- The second flight included a heavy-weight landing and full use of the reverse propulsion.
- Four hours after its initial flight, the plane made a safe landing at the same airfield. The 13-year-old airplane spent the period from September 20, 2020, to January 27, 2023, in long-term storage in Victorville, California.
- The airframe has 3,823 cycles and 44,033 flying hours as of March 2023, when its estimated market value was $39.13 million.
