Despite some unusually wintery weather, the A380's visit to YVR on November 29 was a huge success. The visit was part of a certification process for the A380, demonstrating its capabilities on a continuous, typical airline schedule.
The aircraft landed on the north runway as scheduled at 0730, much to the delight of hundreds of plane spotters lining Ferguson Road, north of the airport. The A380 spent the day on the West Apron, where it was serviced and fuelled. It departed on time at 1630 for its final leg of the journey to its home base in Toulouse, France.
