Aviation news website FlightGlobal.com has published photos of the the first Singapore Airlines Airbus A380, fresh from the paint shop.It took 21 days to paint the huge aircraft -- number MSN003 -- in the Singapore Airlines livery. One hundred painters worked over four shifts to hand-polish the 3,100 square meters of fuselage surface area.
Singapore Airlines expects to take delivery of this first A380 in October of this year. Three additional A380s for Singapore -- MSN005, MSN006 and MSN008 -- are in production at this time.
Earlier this year FlightGlobal.com published photos of the interior of another A380. That one, A380 MSN007, features a "development and demonstration cabin" that has 12 first class seats and 307 economy seats on the main deck, plus 64 business class and 136 economy seats on the upper deck.
