Sydney Flyover Launches Qantas, Emirates Tie-Up
Australian airline Qantas marked the official launch of its partnership with Emirates on Sunday with a spectacular tandem flyover of the Sydney Harbour Bridge by two Airbus A380s.
Qantas said the feat by the two super-jumbos -- one from each of the carriers -- is thought to be the first time anywhere in the world that two commercial airline A380s have flown in formation.
As the planes flew over the bridge the Qantas jet was in the lead, flying at about 1,500 feet (450 metres).
