A380 to wear full Emirates colours at Dubai air show
According to this article, Airbus claims that MSN004 will fly eachday at the Dubai air show wearing the full colours of Emirates.
This is the lucky plane:

This would explain why Airbus hadn't applied the painton the tail yet.
Isn't this the first time in aviation history that a plane under certification is wearing the full airline livery in such an early stage of the test programme ?
But it's a nice tribute to the largest A380 customer.

PS: Spotters in DXB, watch out for the beast
PPS: Funny thing is that MSN004 will eventually fly for Etihad :frantic:

The picture knocked me of my chair, almost. The Emirates livery looks very attractive on the A380-800 (now I wonder how esthetic it would look on the bigger -900 version). It's a great marketing tool for EK and a marvelous addition to the Dubai Airshow, spotters will have their 'prime time' there. Airbus has to be working hard to regain some respect lost by delaying the A380's. Anyways positive reflections from me on this photo(great shot after all), the A380 just fits the Emirates livery. The new TG livery should look awesome on her.

If you look closely, you can see that the text is on a rectangle that is a different shade of white than the rest of the fuselage. So it could be a sticker.Dude320 wrote:I assume it is Vinyl Stickers which they put on the fuselage
I don t think Emirates is painted, even the website...
So, it can be easily removed in few days to put a new customer on...
Don t you think so ?
And here a picture where the belly is clearly visible. http://www.airliners.net/open.file/961787/L/
From that angle the plane looks very nice IMHO. Never thought I would say that abou tthe A380. But I can't resist :frantic:
