New Hi Fly A330 takes its First Flight

Lisbon, 21st June 2018 – The second brand new Airbus A330 from the Hi Fly direct order has successfully completed its first flight in Toulouse today, on time for an expected delivery in late July.

The flight program included testing the aircraft for stability and controllability and checking the efficiency of the on-board equipment in all extreme configurations.
