An Airbus A380 formally operated by Hi Fly and stored for five years has found a new owner despite previous interest from UK-startup Global Airlines. AeroTime reported on this development on September 17, 2025, but details surrounding which company would be operating the A380 were less clear. EFW later confirmed to AeroTime that the A380 had a new owner. While the 9H-MIP was previously operated by Hi Fly, the aircraft was owned by Doric Asset Finance. Global is progressing the acquisition of other A380s.”9H-MIP famously showcased the eye-catching ‘Save the Coral Reefs’ livery between 2018 and 2020 while flying for Hi Fly.
