The vertical tail section for the first Thai Airways International (THAI) Airbus A380 has been painted with the airline’s orchid logo at Airbus facilities in Hamburg, Germany. The painting was completed last week, and the section is now being shipped to Toulouse, France. Assembly of the aircraft is set to begin later this month.
THAI will become the ninth Airbus A380 operator when it takes delivery in the third quarter of 2012.
