Thai Airways' first Airbus A380 aircraft has entered the final assembly line in Toulouse, France.

At the final assembly line, the various sections of Thai Airways' first A380 will be brought together and assembled on a single jig in several phrases prior to being moved to the "final control station" for equipment and systems installation and checks, the airline said in a statement.

Thai Airways is set to receive the first of six A380s on order in the third quarter of 2012 and will operate the aircraft on premier routes between Bangkok and Europe.
