France, together with other European Union countries, chartered the largest aircraft in the world, the Airbus A380. The flight will be operated by Hi-Fly’s only A380, 9H-MIP. The aircraft just flew from Beja to Paris, where medical teams with doctors and equipment will board. It will fly to Vietnam tomorrow to pick up a new crew; after that, it will fly to Wuhan then directly back to Paris.

Germany:

The German government sent an Air Force Airbus A310 aircraft to Wuhan. This aircraft departed from Cologne Bonn Airport. It flew to Shanghai, then Wuhan and finally back to Frankfurt. However, because of its limited range, there was a crew change halfway.

  2. Qantas are going to Christmas Island as the Australian government are quarantining everyone for 14 days before they can return to the mainland!

  3. Malaysia will send an Air Asia plane tomorrow to evacuate the 120 odd Malaysians trapped in Wuhan. Hasn’t been specific on whether it’s an A320 or A330 but they are taking 12 crew plus government staff so assuming it’s an A330.

  4. Singapore used a Scoot Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner (9V-OJI) to evacuate Singaporeans from Wuhan. Operated as TGW120/121 on 29/30 Jan 2020 (btw Sam, heard that you took Scoot last year, when will the vlog be out?)
