Airbus BelugaXL rolls-out of paintshop
Transport aircraft unveils
special livery chosen by Airbus employees
Toulouse, 28 June 2018 – The first
BelugaXL has rolled out of the paintshop unveiling a special livery making it look like a
Beluga Whale. The livery was one of six choices submitted to Airbus employees
through a poll in which 20,000 people participated. With 40% votes in favour, the smiley livery won.
The BelugaXL will now undertake ground tests before first flight
planned in summer 2018.

The decision to build the BelugaXL was taken in November 2014 to address the transport
and ramp-up capacity requirements for Airbus beyond 2019. The new oversize air
transporters are based on the A330-200 Freighter, with a large re-use of
existing components and equipments. The first of five
BelugaXLs will fly in summer 2018 and enter into
service in 2019.
