HISTORY ASPECTS: The Airbus A380-800, adorned in the striking "Emirates Airlines - Dubai Expo 2020" livery and registered as A6-EOT, is a magnificent embodiment of the airline's commitment to luxury, innovation, and the global spirit of the Dubai Expo 2020. This superjumbo, the largest passenger aircraft in the world, has been a cornerstone of Emirates Airlines' fleet, marking a new era in long-haul travel and reinforcing the airline's dedication to delivering unparalleled service and comfort to its passengers. The Airbus A380-800 is renowned for its exceptional size and performance. A6-EOT was powered by four Engine Alliance GP7200 engines, each producing a remarkable 70,000 pounds of thrust. This immense power allowed the aircraft to achieve a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of approximately 1.2 million pounds (560,000 kilograms). With a cruising speed of around 560 knots (645 mph or 1,040 km/h), the A380-800 delivered a spacious and luxurious travel experience for its passengers. Having been developed by Airbus in 1990 as a viable contender to the Boeing 747, which had gone unchallenged since its inception in the 1960's, the Airbus A380 is a four engine jet that went into service in 2007 as the world's largest, long-range, wide-body passenger airliner, and because it is the only full-length, double-deck aircraft to ever be produced, it can typically be configured to seat from 525 passengers up to a maximum capacity of 853 passengers. Production of the Airbus A380 ended in December 2021 with a total of 251 having been produced. A striking contrast from Emirate's traditional livery, Emirates and Expo 2020 Dubai have teamed up and are connecting the world together with the introduction of three special, colorfully adorned Emirates A380's, each airliner linked to one of Expo 2020 Dubai's subthemes - Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability. This Emirates A380 showcases the Mobility theme, which is intended to be symbolic of universal mobility - interpreted as the tangible movement of individuals, the availability and delivery of goods and services, and the ever-increasing advent and implementation of virtual connectivity through information technology. More concisely, Emirates and Expo 2020 Dubai connect people, goods and ideas by bringing the world closer together through new technologies and paving the way to better collaboration. Consisting of more than 60 daily shows, 200 restaurants and hundreds of pavilions from a record of nearly 200 participating countries, Expo 2020 Dubai - which was delayed by one year because of the pandemic - is deemed to be one of the largest fairs ever held and is the first World Expo ever to be presented in the Middle East. Much more than just three subthemes, together, Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability were the challenge, the inspiration and the goal that Emirates and Expo 2020 Dubai set its sights on, and eventually achieved, as the fair was developed and constructed to be thoroughly sustainable by primarily relying on the energy generated by solar panels along with other renewable resources for its sustainable requirements, including the ability to recycle much of its water. The "Emirates Airlines - Dubai Expo 2020" livery on A6-EOT was a spectacular showcase of the airline's partnership with the Dubai Expo, celebrating the significant global event and Emirates' role as the official carrier for the occasion. This iconic livery exemplified the airline's unwavering commitment to making air travel a symbol of luxury and sophistication. This meticulously crafted replica captures the essence of the aircraft, from its impressive size to the iconic branding. For those who appreciate the significance of the A380-800 in redefining long-haul travel and Emirates Airlines' dedication to providing passengers with a luxurious and world-class experience, this 1:200 scale model is an indispensable addition to any collection. Display it with pride and celebrate the legacy of innovation, luxury, and the global spirit that Emirates Airlines and the Dubai Expo 2020 represent.
