This week we got confirmation that MSN002 (Private) will be staying in Toulouse until 2012. Over the past few months MSN002 has had new doors and windows installed, Plus being emptied of all Airbus test equipment.
The wings have now been covered with a white film, the same type that is covered on new wings arriving via convoy. It costs Airbus €50,000 for the film to be applied to the wings.
MSN042 (Emirates #13) is currently scheduled to perform it’s Rejected Take Off test today. First flight will probably be on Tuesday, followed by a ferry flight to Hamburg a few days later.
