Airbus prepares to deliver first A380 to MAS
Malaysia Airlines’ (MAS) first Airbus A380 has now been fully fitted out with interior cabin products.
The new aircraft has now returned from Hamburg to the Airbus factory in Toulouse for final system checks prior to delivery at the end of the month.
MAS will become the eighth operator of the A380 and will commence commercial services between Kuala Lumpur and London on 1 July this year. The national carrier has ordered six A380s and will operate the aircraft in a three-class layout seating a total of 494 passengers. The MAS A380 fleet will be powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines.
The aircraft will also adopt a special livery designed specifically for the A380.
