ANA receives first Japanese A380

(www.cargofee.com) News Broadcast：

Airbus has handed over the first A380 to All Nippon Airways, in a ceremony which also marks the last new customer delivery for the double-deck type.

ANA is taking three A380s for services between Japan and Hawaii.

Speaking at the delivery event in Toulouse, ANA Holdings chief Shinya Katanozaka said the aircraft would offer a “new level of luxury service to our customers”.

“We believe it will become a game-changer for ANA,” he says.

The aircraft will all carry a ‘honu’ sea turtle livery, in different colours and slightly different appearances.

Its initial aircraft, MSN262, is painted pale blue to reflect the Hawaiian sky with the turtle scheme having open eyes on the forward fuselage.

Airbus chief executive Tom Enders says the company’s painting specialists spent 20 days working on the livery.

“It’s one of the most – if not the most – intricate undertaken by Airbus,” he says.
