1/144 Airbus A380 (New Livery)

On 18 January 2005, one of the most important milestones of the Airbus A380 programme took place. The world's first continuous double-deck aircraft was officially shown to the world for the first time in a ceremony at the Jean Luc Lagardere final assembly hall in Toulouse, France. This event was attended by more than 4,500 guests. The launch of the A380 also marked the introduction of the new Airbus colour scheme, which was changed for the first time since the A310. The A380 is the first aircraft to carry this new Airbus design. It reflects not only Airbus' current market presence, but also its future status as a leading aircraft manufacturer. The A380 landed in Blagnac (Toulouse International Airport, France) on 27 April 2005 at 14:23 local time (12:23 UTC) after successful completion of the first flight, which lasted 3 hours and 54 minutes. With the entry into service of the A380, the first passenger flights are planned for 2006. The Airbus flagship for the 21st century took to the skies for its maiden flight weighing 421 tonnes – the highest take-off weight of any commercial aircraft to date. During this maiden flight, all the main test points were met, at the same time it marked the beginning of a longer test flight phase, which includes five A380s. The scale and severity of these ground and flight test programmes will lead the A380 to a seamless entry into service.
