Most likely Hong Kong's airline Cathy Pacific !:rocks: this guy can carry 800 passengers , this guy was doing a celebration debut low fly in front of our 80 storeys International Financial Center, much lower than the building. Today is a big day! That was why I could take such close up!

The rear fin itself is tall as a tower! The background of the first picture is our International airport, about 20km from my house.

But CX(Cathay Pacific) hasn't ordered this monster yet. Is Airbus marketing it to CX? CX would probably opt for Boeing747-800 as the replacement of their old 747-400.

All planned ahead. It has been on our news headline and several TV station live broadcasts. There must be ten thousands cameras waiting for this big fly event. The low level fly around Hong Kong city center is a special arrangement by the airport authority, a celebration debut of this biggest domestic aircraft carrier in history. There was no passnegers, no airline logo yet on airbus.
There were 2 side fins missing from the airbus due to one of them was damaged in another port, but the authority said "it will not affect flying"

Maybe they arent really interested in such a big aircraft.

Also anyone have pic of the A380 with IFC in the background?

Obviously not. Because the capacity of 787 is comparable with A330/A350. But CX has the biggest A330 team in the world. In terms of capacity,it should match with 748. However I am not fans of airbus, so I am praying for CX getting B748 instead.

Isnt CX 744 is still in young age? Does CX own those A330/A340?
