The World's Shortest A380 Route

What did the fish say when he swam into a wall? "

Departure Airport: Incheon International Airport (ICN/RKSI) :south_korea:
Arrival Airport: Narita International Airport (NRT/RJAA) :japan:
Aircraft: Airbus A380-800
Airline: Asiana
Flight Time: 1:37
Server: Expert

This morning, I watched a video from Simply Aviation about the world’s shortest A380 flight, which is operated by Asiana between Seoul and Tokyo’s Narita Airport. It isn’t, by a long shot, the shortest ever A380 flight (that goes to Emirates’s former Dubai - Muscat flight with the jet), but I figured it was still worth a go in the sim!


Boarding as the morning fog clears out in Seoul


Pushing back and getting our four Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines started for the short flight down to Tokyo


So long, South Korea!


Banking to the southeast to avoid North Korean airspace


Heading out over the Sea of Japan near North Gyeongsangbuk. Because of turbulence over the ocean, there was no snack or drink service on this sub-two hour flight


Starting our initial descent into Narita near the city of Toyooka (not to be confused with Tokyo)


Hi Tokyo! Tokyo is the world’s most populated city, with 41 million residents in the metropolitan area. That’s like two New York City or four Lima metros. There are more people in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area then there are in 158 independent nations


Crossing over a very nice looking beach on final approach


Welcome to the Land of the Rising Sun!

This is just absurd to me :scream:

Oh my god this is soooooooo funny soooooooo incredibly funny.

What did the policewoman say to the snowman?
“Freeze!”

East Asia lends itself well to photos.

It’s an unimaginable amount of people in one metropolitan area. There’s only a couple hundred thousand more people in the entire nation of Canada.

Funniest joke ever, right?

Very nice pictures! Hope you had a good flight

Isn’t it because there is a high demand of people going to Narita and Korea that they have to use the A380?

Interesting flight bro, very nice photos wowwwwwwwwwww!
