[updated:LAST EDITED ON 10-10-02 AT 08:36 PM (GMT)]I found this pic of the Airbus Factory in Toulouse… Just though you’d like to see whats going on there, what airlines have planes on order
In the pic I can see:
A Virgin A340-600
A Air France A330?
A USA 3000 A320
An Austrian Airlines A320
An Air Canada A320
A Few Iberia A320’s
A TAM A320
A Fed Ex A310
The A340-500 and 600
And a Super Guppy.
Is that Qantas Aircraft an A330??? It really looks like one, can you see the winglets?

Bmi ordered 4 A330s,G-WWBB and G-WWBM are used on the Manchester to Chicago/Washigton routes.G-WWBD is stored at MAN (I’m not sure whats happening with that) There was a 4th at TLS which according to what I heard was sold (or leased) to Emirates.

RE: Toulouse.
There is a third bmi A330,however,seeing that bmi’s transatlantic operations are not really a success and the down turn in the aviation industry,I think they’ve cancelled it.

RE: Toulouse.

TLS is usually quiet. most movements are between 6 am and 8 am with flights going to north arfica.

RE: Toulouse.
I was at Blagnac last Febuary (as someone said,going skiing in Andorra) I was surprised that it wasn’t actually that busy!Saw a couple of Air France jets and a few other European airlines but that was all.I saw the Airbus factory from the terminal and you also have goods views of the apron.

RE: Toulouse.

RE: Toulouse.
Er.. dumb question this I suppose.
Is the Airbus plant situated within Toulouse Airport or is a separate site elsewhere ?
