The aircraft departed Kansai International airport (KIX) in Japan on 17 January 2022, making a stopover in Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) before arriving at Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) on 18 January 2022, with further cross-continental flights to Vilnius international airport (VNO) in Lithuania, and Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) in Vietnam.

Airhub Airlines has made strides since the induction of our first widebody A340 aircraft in 2021, and we intend to continue in this trajectory with many more passenger and cargo flights to the United States planned throughout 2022,” commented Husam Kharoufah, Vice President – Commercial at Airhub Aviation.
