Air France A380-800 Takeoff YUL Montreal

Описание: Filmed: Sunday, July 15, 2012 (6:10-8:15pm EDST). Plane spotting at YUL Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (Dorval), runway 24L (northeast to southwest), from Montreal's new Jacques de Lesseps Park (the plane spotting park on Jenkins Avenue at the south-west end of the runway). Planes were landing and taking off into calm to light westerly winds. Weather was mixed, warm (24°C) and sunny after some thunderstorms had passed through the area.

Filmed sequence of several vids showing the AF A380 backing up, turning, exiting the terminal, taxiing to runway 24L and takeoff. This is the only A380 landing in Montreal and it has been reduced to 4 days/wk (Sat, Sun, Mon & Wed). AF has announced that the A380 will be pulled from Montreal this fall, apparently due to poor sales of the premium First Class and Business Class seats which comprise ~20% of the seat configuration. THe A380 is being replaced by the B777 on this route. It should be noted that YUL has a challenge to handle the A380, you can clearly see this by how it is parked and moves about the airport. YUL is a relatively small international airport serving the Montreal Metropolitan population of approx 3 million.
