Airbus yesterday released a photo of the first Airbus A380 from ANA (All Nippon Airways), outside the final assembly line of the aircraft.
Now this plane will go to ground and flight tests, and soon after it will go to Hamburg, , where it will receive the final painting and the company's customized interior.
The delivery of this aircraft will take place in early 2019.
ANA's order for the A380 was placed in 2016, in total the Japanese company ordered three aircraft of this model. So far, Airbus has delivered 229 A380 aircraft.

The interior of ANA's A380 will have capacity for 520 engers, a market standard number but higher than that found in many companies that use the A380, even in Asia. In all, there will be 8 seats in First Class, 56 in Business, 73 in Economy and 383 in Economy, which is entirely located on the lower deck of the A380.
As comfort items, ANA will have bars on its A380, just like Emirates and LED lighting, with an almost infinite number of colors to improve the enger's perception on board.
In Economy, the highlight is the sofa seat option, already used by Azul in its A330-200, there are 60 rows located in the middle with this option. The sofa-seat is able to turn into a bed, by raising the legrests, and thus allowing two people to lie down in the space. In the image below, the sofa seat is marked in blue.
On the main deck we have the presence of a place where new mothers can take care of their babies, in the aft part of the first floor.
In First Class, we have private compartments and seats that recline 180º.
In Executive Class, we have seats similar to the standard in the market, with good reclining (although not 180º) and with an entertainment system similar to Economy.
Economy Class has seats with different colors compared to traditional Economy and seems to be more comfortable overall compared to the lower class, mainly due to the 2-3-2 seating configuration.
All classes are equipped with the Zodiac Rave entertainment system, which is customized for the routes between Tokyo and Honolulu, Hawaii, which the aircraft will be tasked with flying.
