Qatar Amiri Flight - A7-HBJ (hdr) - London Gatwick (EGKK/LGW)
19-11-2015 - Qatar Amiri Flight, Boeing 747-8KB BBJ.
A wet and windy day at Gatwick was made that little bit more bearable and worthwhile when this showed up! By far the star movement for Gatwick in 2015. It arrived the previous evening from Antalya. It was due to head into Heathrow but the bad weather saw it divert to us here at Gatwick! It stayed with us for around a week before heading over to Heathrow.
This was the first visit into Gatwick for the aircraft and was also the first 747-800 to visit the airport too.
Info:
Aircraft was built in 2012 and was delivered to the Qatar Amiri Flight as A7-HJA 25-4-2012. It took over 3 years to be fitted out inside and was re-registered to A7-HBJ in July 2015.
