THAI’s First A380 Enters Final Assembly Line

Thai Airways International’s first Airbus A380 aircraft recently entered the final assembly line in Toulouse, France.

At the final assembly line, the various sections of THAI’s first A380 will be brought together and assembled on a single jig under several phrases prior to being moved to the "final control station" for equipment and systems installation and checks.

THAI is set to receive the first of six A380s on order in the third quarter of 2012 and will operate the aircraft on premier routes between Bangkok to Europe.
