For those of you keeping an eye on the progress of the first Delta Airbus A350, there’s good news today, with the plane rolling out of the Airbus paint shop in Toulouse.

This plane took to the air two weeks ago in its first flight… looking a little different.

Delta will take delivery of their first A350 in July – becoming the first A350 operator in the United States of America.
Already identified as Ship 3501, this plane will enter service in the US Fall/Autumn, with its initial operations targeting transpacific routes.
It seems the Delta white, blue and red widget make for a reasonable look for the Airbus A350. Of course, the plane is wearing its signature shades around the pilots windows.
Delta will have its new Delta One suites fitted aboard this plane, as well as premium economy and economy seating installed.
