The first
Airbus A380 superjumbo for Thai Airways International rolled
out of the Airbus paint shop in Hamburg over the weekend, bearing
the airline’s distinctive livery.
This marks the completion of the painting
and cabin installation work on the aircraft, which will now enter
a final phase of ground and flight tests in Hamburg.
During this phase of production all cabin
systems will be thoroughly tested, including air flow and air
conditioning, lighting, galleys, lavatories, seats and in-flight
entertainment.
In parallel, Airbus will also undertake
advanced general performance tests with the aircraft before it
flies to Toulouse for preparation for delivery to the airline in
the third quarter of the year.
THAI will become the ninth operator of the A380.
The airline has firm orders for six A380s and will operate the
aircraft on its premier routes from Bangkok to Europe.
