The Airbus A380 programme has reached the milestone of 1000 flight hours during the flight test programme for the aircraft type since the first flight of MSN1 on 27th April 2005. The 1000th flight hour was achieved after MSN1 took off from the manufacturer’s home base in Toulouse, France, at 09.40 h local time for a flight over Southern France, including the testing of the flight control system in specific weather conditions with strong winds.
