How Do You Pick Up A 'superjumbo' A380?

When an airline places an order for new passenger planes, it’s a proud moment for the company.


Media are notified, company Facebook pages updated, shareholders pat themselves on the back.


And all that pomp is magnified tenfold when an airline actually picks up its first model of a particularly special aircraft.

efficient Boeing Dreamliner and the monstrous Airbus 380, the world’s
largest commercial passenger aircraft.

tagged along with Thai Airways to the Airbus delivery center in
Toulouse, France, earlier this year to find out exactly what picking up a
shiny new US$300 million A380 entails.
