It was on a special occasion that these aircraft were able to fly together in formation. On 2 December 2018, in honour of the United Arab Emirates national day, a real air show was held in Dubai.

It was therefore 1 A380 from Emirates, 1 A380 from Etihad, 1 A320 from Air Arabia, 1 Boeing 737 MAX and the national acrobatic patrol that formed an exceptional flight over Dubai, near Palm Island in particular.
During this training, the various aircraft had to be flown with great care. In addition to the aesthetic balance of flight, the turbulence created by a super-jumbo jet such as the A380 can be very dangerous for other aircraft. Thus, each aircraft maintained a gap of 300 feet, with the Boeing 737 MAX 8 positioned the lowest at 1000 feet, with a speed of 210 knots.

2019 seems to be a busy year for aeronautics and air transport. New aircraft, increased production rates, and even an electric aircraft should mark the year. Gigantic airports are also expected to be built, notably in Istanbul, Turkey and Beijing, China. The first Boeing 777X on the assembly line (source:air cosmos)
