Backstage pass: South African Airways A340-300 inaugural to Perth
We’re in South Africa to catch a very special flight with South African Airways, the inaugural re-launch of direct flights between Johannesburg and Perth in Western Australia on the rare and beautiful Airbus A340-300. First we’re at the SAA Technical hangar to spend some time with the aircraft and watch as technicians do their pre-flight checks; we join the celebrations at the check-in area; we check out the brand new SAA lounge at OR Tambo, and then we’re in the cockpit for the momentous departure and takeoff; we get a bit of dinner and a rest in the business class cabin; then it’s back in the flight deck for the warm reception and very nice landing the following morning at Perth. This i...

    Was there to spot the arrival if this particular aircraft when it first arrived @FRA from TLS as it was the first blue A330neo for Condor. Flew it in March 2024 from JFK to FRA 👍 In fact, it was damaged by a ground vehicle only a few weeks into operation and went AOG for roughly 5 months. Repair was finished shortly before I had my ride. Ultimately, it was only a few cycles old when I stepped onboard.

    I enjoyed every bit of this video! The first time I flew in a plane was in 2017, and it was an A340-300 flight from Lagos to Johannesburg with South African Airways!!! That still remains my most memorable trip! I so much love SAA. Although since they closed their routes in 2020, I switched to EgyptAir. I wish to go back to SAA, but their flights are too expensive now. I flew with EgyptAir from Lagos to Washington DC in 2023, and my wife is taking EgyptAir, too. I wish SAA could come back to their Lagos routes and reduce their cost. You'll get more customers!

    SAA should look into replacing the 340 with the 350. I love the A340, but it would just make more sense for them to fly a more modern aircraft. Plus, the SAA livery would look very nice on a 350 too!
