in my opinion one of the best aircraft ever made, the A345 :-)

[@deonellis8577]

Airbus A340-500... The aircraft with the longest reach distance without any need for a refuel stop-over 👍🏻👍🏻

[@visionist7]

I love that subtle throttle flex at 00:20

[@edvigo]

Is just breathtaking to hear the tremendous power of those engines. Very nice. Thanks

[@Bluelightcowboy]

nothing sounds better than the sound of them 4 engines up in the air

[@NonstopDan]

Amazing video!! I frakin love this view of the A340 wing!! :D

[@randomshadow888]

You love the A346 too, right?

[@silvialoren9400]

1 minute takeoff. Lifting off at 3:15. Start takeoff at 2:15.

[@superskullmaster]

That was about 55 seconds of heavy takeoff right there. One of the longest I've seen on YT.

[@dustinpatrickpeters8824]

Nice Aircraft. Hoping the production of this Airbus A340 resumes

[@LGW340]

Cant wait to be in Abu Dhabi in 2 weeks! I will vide my takeoff like this in the Biman DC-10 !

[@alvinjamessaldanha2379]

Very thrilling. Thank You!

[@manuelgorgulho2209]

Pedal to the metal and burn rubber! Super takeoff footage. Thanks!!

Allahumma innaka affuwun kareemun tuhibul afwa fa Fu anni..

[@ETOPSriskier]

Low air density (hot climate) + heavy fuel load + graduated power take-off on a long runway + quad = long take-off run.

[@amc3]

I LOVE the wing flex just after take off. I`m going from Inverness to Seoul in December/January to visit my son, but cant decide Emirates or Etihad? I know the ICE system is excellent, but I love the Etihad music lol

[@andrewanane9715]

Engines look luxurious!!! Great one

[@brunobarny3936]

Le meilleur des Long courrier !

[@ageraccx1931]

love the A340 n the sound of Rolls Royce Trent

[@silvialoren9400]

RR Trent 772B-60 is only in A340-200 and A340-300.

[@WebeoTransportation]

+Silvia Loren 4 Trent 700 are on A345 and A346, 2 Trent 700 are on A332 and A333. 4 CFM56 are on A342 and A343.

[@raykrislianggi]

+Webeo What? The A345 and A346 uses Trent 500, not 700.

[@737airberlin]

Super Video! Krass wie spät der A345 hochzog finde ich. Daumen-Hoch!

[@BlueStar167]

[@keilorsolis2815]

[@NtheKidd]

Scorching heat of abu dhabi, landscape burnt to a crisp!

[@lenny108]

Still after 50 years NASA is not able to turn all these deserts into meadows and pastures...

[@shwopnotori1317]

nice video!

[@smashicedevice1788]

340 classy machine

[@MaxiAir]

Um ehrlich zu sein, hätte es mich gewundert, wenn es andersrum gewesen wäre! :D Wieviele Gänge haben die denn serviert? Gabs viel Auswahl?

[@adamraslan3110]

Nice ride

[@MaxiAir]

Das muss ja ein Flug gewesen sein, First Class, wie ist deine Meinung ? So gut, wie EY es verkauft ?

[@lol-lp4tw]

Can you go business class to seoul from Abu Dhabi? Because im going there in a month!!

[@vmalmfreddan]

How is Etihad as an airline? I'm going from Abu Dhabi to Sydney soon. Good service? Seats? entertainment? Regards, V

[@NordicAviation]

Where do u get the earth with the red line showing the route? :) - Amazing video!

[@ITripReport]

Nordic Aviation imovie, on mac

[@NordicAviation]

iTripReport thanks dude

[@pureinzusupotta]

How did you do the, like, simulation and the red line Abu Dhabi to New York? at 0:05

[@musicman95si]

That would have been actually pretty expensive!:-)

[@willamesdelas7747]

legal Parabéns

[@mrtodd3620]

From your video, I see that they don't serve food or land the aircraft. I guess you have to go on other airlines for that.

[@husseinali5856]

Long take off

[@husseinali5856]

I think so,and I think full power was nt used on d engines.......

[@willamisbezerra2836]

Um Voo tão Longo e só Seis Minutos de Vídeo! Que pena RS ; parabéns pelo Vídeo.

[@FredtheDorfDorfman1985]

Even with the proper wide-body engines, ya still feel like going up and asking the pilot if he needs ya to get out and push.😂 I heard a French company came out with a four person hair dryer called The Galeere. It was popular among Low Riders, one in particular a Turkish dude named Deli Mike.😂 No, I’m just kidding.

[@Drewalvz]

"Enjoy this non-stop, government-subsidized flight!"

[@visionist7]

Don't be bitter my man

[@sandrisaug]

So long run.
