Safeport assists world's largest commercial aircraft

Safeport has assisted Global Airlines Airbus A380-841 as it landed at Beja Airport, Portugal.

This marks the second time Safeport has provided ground support for the iconic Airbus A380 at Beja following its first historic involvement in 2018 with Hi Fly’s Airbus A380, 9H-MIP.

The Global Airlines Airbus A380, ferried by Hi Fly, arrived in Beja from Dresden, Germany.

Safeport’s team was responsible for all ground handling services, including providing GSE, aircraft towing, potable water, lavatory service, aircraft cleaning and comprehensive airport logistics.

A company spokesman said: “This event highlights Safeport’s continued excellence in handling the largest passenger aircraft in the world, further cementing the company’s reputation as an industry leader. The successful management of this remarkable plane underscores Safeport’s ability to oversee large-scale operations.

“Having previously supported the Hi Fly Airbus A380 in 2018, Safeport continues to demonstrate its expertise in assisting these exceptional machines with precision and care. The 2018 arrival of Hi Fly’s A380 9H-MIP, dedicated to the “Save the Coral Reefs” campaign by the Mirpuri Foundation, attracted hundreds of spectators to Beja Airport and marked a significant moment in aviation history.”
