- One million thank you's.
Today I'm here because of your continuous support.
I reached one million subscribers
on YouTube a few days ago,
and I want to say a heartfelt thank you
to all my followers - one million thank you's!
I will continue to do my best
to deliver the best aviation content.
Let's use that one million influence together
to get more exclusive footage,
to get behind the scenes more and
to celebrate aviation together.
And today, I'm gonna show you
the ANA All Nippon Airways' first A380, let's go.
(inspiring music)
- Today's event marks a new milestone.
I was told that our painting specialists
spent 20 days working on this livery.
Probably one of the most,
if not the most, intricate ever undertaken, by Airbus.
- We're extremely proud to be Airbus' partner,
powering such a magnificent aircraft.
They're the most colourful aircraft we've ever powered.
In Hawaii, the sea turtle represents endurance.
They've been around for more than 150 million years.
We obviously haven't been around for quite so long,
but at Rolls Royce we like to think
we're an enduring company with a long history.
We're very fortunate and proud that Rolls Royce was chosen
by ANA to power this aircraft with our Trent 900.
- Bonjour, Konnichiwa, everyone at ANA
is excited to bring home to Japan
the largest passenger aircraft in the world.
Sea turtles are treated
as a holy animal in Hawaii.
We will commit all three
of our A380's
to the Tokyo / Honolulu routes.
This is the number one destination for Japanese people.
There is a Japanese saying: The turtle lives
for 10,000 years.
(crowd laughs)
This means the lifespan
of the Airbus A380,
especially our flying Honu, will last
for more than 10,000 years from today.
(crowd applauds)
(upbeat instrumental music)
(crowd applauds)
- [All] Konnichiwa, Flying Honu Yokoso.
(enlightening music)
- Welcome to the first ANA A380.
What an incredible looking plane behind me.
ANA's the last customer of Airbus to take delivery of the A380
and this is called the Flying Honu.
What that means, is the flying turtle.
I think this is the most amazing A380 special livery
I've ever seen.
Don't you agree?
Do you like it?
- Hello, my name is Nanako Murakami from ANA.
I look after marketing and PR.
We are so excited to receive the A380 this afternoon
in this wonderful weather in Toulouse.
We are going to be serving our passengers,
taking them to Hawaii, to Honolulu, from Narita in May.
Our livery is not the only feature of this aircraft.
Inside the aircraft, we have many surprises for you.
We have some sea turtle design aprons
on the cabin attendants.
We also have specially designed Hawaiian cuisine
from first class to economy class.
We also have COUCHii seats for those travellers with children,
or maybe going on a honeymoon,
just to be able to relax in comfort.
I hope you will come and fly with us.
Thank you very much.
- Oh really, you have Hawaiian cuisine?
Hawaiian cocktails, right?
- [Nanako] Absolutely.
- Oh my God, I'm looking forward to trying it.
I heard also that it comes from a restaurant called Bills.
- Yeah, do you know Bills?
- [Sam] Yeah, he's a famous Australian chef, right?
Bill Granger, right?
- [Nanako] Exactly.
- [Sam] Yeah, so is it only first class that will have Bills
or will everyone have the food from Bills?
- Actually, the Bills menu is served on the economy class.
-[Sam] Oh really? So everybody in economy class,
will be able to enjoy the Bills cuisine.
- I'm looking forward to that and also the COUCHii.
That is a very, very good concept
surrounding family travel and having a good time cuddling together.
- Thank you Sam.
- Yeah, awesome.
So the ANA A380 will be deployed
between Tokyo and Honolulu starting May 24th.
I'm very excited - I'm hoping to be on one of the first flights
to be able to share footage with you of what the inside of the plane is like.
- [Girls] Hello.
-[Sam] Konnichiwa -[Girls] Konnichiwa.
- [Girls] Welcome on board.
- Are you excited to fly the first A380 back to Japan? - Yeah. - Yes.
- My name is Kyoko.
- Kyoko, wow.
- Are you posting some of the video on YouTube?
- Yeah, this is going to be on YouTube actually.
Everyone say hello to all the YouTube audience.
- Okay - Wonderful.
(crowd cheers)
- This is Matthias, he was a test pilot
on the ANA A380 that was just delivered.
- It was a real good aeroplane from the beginning
and I'm quite proud today to see this aeroplane gone.
- Congratulations that your aeroplane made it back to the sky
and now you have one new, happy customer!
- [Matthias] One new happy customer.
It's really high.
I've flown a lot of A380s,
but this one is the most beautiful aeroplane I've ever flown.
- Loving it, just loving it.
Let's fly on their beautiful A380 very soon.
I'll be sharing all of the details with you.
Congratulations to Japan's ANA again,
and thank you for watching.
