The first A350 XWB for Vietnam Airlines,
to be leased from AerCap, has just moved to station 30 at the Roger
Béteille Final Assembly Line (FAL) in Toulouse, France.
This new milestone marks the completion
of some of the major airframe assembly as well as the successful first
electrical power-on. In station 30, the aircraft will now undergo ground
tests, while the cabin installation initiated in the previous station
(station 40) will be continued.
Scheduled for delivery in mid-2015, the
aircraft will see Vietnam Airlines become the first Asian airline to fly
the A350 XWB and the second operator in the world of the all-new,
fuel-efficient widebody.
