Contact Photographer hummelfXHaneda Airport does not normally accommodate the SuperJumbo because of the effect on other flights.
For the first time, the superjumbo Airbus A380, flew from France to Tokyo’s Haneda airport to check, among other things, if the airport’s passenger boarding bridges fit the double-decker wide-body plane’s doors.
