Airbus unveils China Airlines A350 carbon livery
Airbus has unveiled a special livery on China Airlines’ final A350-900.
MSN 239 rolled out onto the flightline without engines and with protective film covering its rear fuselage section and winglets last month.
The aircraft, currently registered as F-WZFU, is painted in a combination of Airbus carbon fiber colors and China Airlines colors.
Since the protected rollout last month, Airbus has installed the two Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines and added the final paint touches. All standard test flights will be conducted before being handed to the airline.
The final registration of the aircraft – B18918 – features two 18s, which is very auspicious for good fortune.
This is the 14th and last A350 on order for China Airlines so far, however talks about a possible top-up order have been thrown around over the last few months.
China Airlines has applied a special manufacturer house livery on their aircraft before. A Boeing 777-300ER and 747-400 in their fleet received a special Boeing wave livery as seen in the photos below:
