The company has initiated the application of its distinctive livery on the plane and is finalizing plans for interior refurbishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upcoming maintenance work, scheduled to begin shortly, will further propel the airline toward its goal of launching passenger services in the coming year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global Airlines forges partnerships with major established aviation industry leaders and innovative new brands. This strategic collaboration aims to create a distinctive in-flight experience, setting the airline apart in the competitive aviation market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially, the airline plans to operate transatlantic flights. It aims to fly the busiest and most competitive routes such as London-Los Angeles and London-New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flights will be operated by Portuguese wet-lease specialist Hi Fly who has huge experience in A380 operations. In fact, it&#8217;s one of the only 15 airlines that has ever operated the A380s.
