Lets have some nice pretty looking aviation news, and it’s from Airbus who have released a picture of the first Thai Airways International Airbus A380 entering final assembly.

Now I don’t know about you, but that Purple on the tail fin does look very pretty indeed (and I do like the colour scheme they’ve chosen for the “re-brand”).
I’ll look forward to when Airbus outfit the new plane for Thai Airways, and to see it in service.
A bright spot for next year indeed…
does anyone know what route this is going to fly? LAX-BKK?
Last murmurings was Europe as a target destination for these birds.
http://www.businesstraveller.asia/asia-pacific/news/thai-airwaysa-plans-for-a380 has an insight to what was planned then. Right now though – it’s anyone guess.
I’d expect them to run regional routes in the first instance before taking the birds around the world… .
