Toulouse, France – The first A380 for Asiana Airlines has rolled out of the Airbus paint shop in Hamburg, Germany, marking the completion of its painting. The aircraft will now have its cabin completed and enter a final phase of ground and flight tests in Hamburg, during which all cabin systems will be thoroughly tested, including air flow and air conditioning, lighting, galleys, lavatories, seats, and in-flight entertainment systems.
In parallel, Airbus will also undertake advanced performance tests with the aircraft before it flies back to Toulouse, France, for preparation of its delivery to the airline in the second quarter of this year.
Asiana Airlines has firm orders for six A380s and will operate the aircraft from Seoul, South Korea, initially on regional services in Asia followed by long-haul routes to the U.S.
