On 3 February 2014 four amateur athletes vied to emulate Springboks and Toulon Rugby player Bryan Habana’s sprint against a British Airways’ A380.
Last year, Bryan raced against our A380 and won. This prompted us to launch a competition to find people who would take up the challenge to pit their speed against our largest and most modern aircraft.
The runners from the UK, France, Israel and South Africa each took their turn to race the plane over 200m on a taxiway parallel to the runway.
Although no one could beat the A380, 23 year old Rudolph Raath from Cape Town took the crown to become the fastest runner on the day, with a time of 23.8 seconds. Rudolph won two Club World return tickets on one of British Airways’ A380 direct flights to London.
