All Nippon Airways has finally taken the physical delivery of its third and last of three Airbus A380s from Toulouse.
The third All Nippon Airways A380, with registration JA383A, took off from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport bound to Tokyo-Narita in its unique Orange turtle livery at 06:10 pm local time on Friday, October 15 arriving in Tokyo at 12:54 pm local time.
This delivery also marked the last ever delivery of an A380 from Toulouse as the remaining two will be delivered from Hamburg.
A large audience gathered around Toulouse-Blagnac to watch the departure and pay the last tribute to the superjumbo that has rocked the skies of Toulouse for many years.

The aircraft was in the care of Airbus, although it was delivered on paper almost a year ago. The third Flying Hanou took its first flight in Toulouse on October 10, 2019, and is currently two years old.
