The real aircraft measures 59.40 m in length with a wingspan of 60.30 m and a height of 16.80 m. At 1:500 scale, this model measures approximately 11.9 cm in length with a wingspan of about 12.1 cm. Afriqiyah Airways operated this aircraft type for their international routes, with 5A-ONE being one of their flagship long-haul aircraft.
