ANA’s first Airbus A380 breaks cover

31/08/2018 by Kevincm

The latest Airbus A380 operator’s plane broke cover. And it will be ANA (All Nippon Airways) who be taking delivery of their first A380.

The first plane has exited the final assembly line at Toulouse, pending ground tests. Once the ground tests are complete, the aircraft will have its first flight.

Once this has been completed, the plane will be transferred from Toulouse to Airbus Hamburg or cabin installation and painting.

ANA will take delivery of three Airbus A380 which will be dedicated for the Tokyo-Honolulu route initially – with the aircraft painted in a rather fetching sea turtle livery.

ANA will be the first operator of the Airbus A380 in Japan, with delivery due in early 2019 to the airline. With the leisure focus of the paintwork – it’s not a far thought that this plane will go for passenger density.

How that will turn up when the cabin gets fitted will be something to pay attention to.
