AMAZING!!!I bet the designers and the people who participated in designing,building,assembling and painting the aircraft are very proud and happy with their success.
De l'art dans le ciel. Bravo Dragonair. Chez Air France la déco' est triste comme un jour sans pain et chez vous c'est magnifique. Et l'intérieur ? Et le service à bord est-il à la hauteur de la déco' de l'appareil ? A quand un 747 ou un A380 aux superbes couleurs de Dragonair ?
I think it's part of a series, because I've seen the A320 and the A340-500 in the same one, but never the A330. But to answer your question, I don't know where to find 'em either. xD Fabulous video here...
Airbus opened an assembly line of the A320 and ACJ family in China, for some Asian Airliners (low cost or not) and Corporate Jet liners and Companies. I think its a final assembly line, maybe its the painting jobs just like Cebu Pacific's A320 it took-off at Toulouse looking green, when it took-off from China to Philippines it is now brightly colored with yellow and orange, same as Philippine Airlines
What a beautiful paint. Amazing, but so expensive. Here it goes one curiosity: I´ve done my MBA with one American Airlines employee and once he presented an power point about AA. The company reduces its money spend by just painting some parts of the plane. Note that all AA airplanes are gray, in the color of a natural airplane when it´s manufactured. This idea comes from an employee who wins some rewards for this idea.
@ amitnarayankar it's not to difficult to understand: first of all they paint the whole plane in white, after that they apply some special let's say sticker to those parts that should remain white and remove the other ones -> now apply the color paint -> remove the sticker
Great video. Now that Airbus have opened up a factory in China, they will learn and copy the technology, and compete against both Airbus and Boeing... way to go Airbus!
Great video....while I prefer the A332 (one of my favourite planes) over the A333, to see such works of art (both manufacturing and painting of the plane) is a thing of beauty and awe....
@transdrole They do! For what do they need the dreamlifter? Anyway, Airbus is a project of France, Germany, UK and Spain. Airbus planes are defintely more advanced than their Boeing counterparts!
The Boeing 737 is the most successful selling aircraft in history, and based on its' numbers sold, definitely more poeple have perished than in the comparable A320. Airbus is a great company, but if as many A320's were sold as B737's, fatalities for Airbus would be higher. Both Boeing and Airbus are great companies, and catastrophic incidents do occur.
"On 5 May 2005, Dragonair celebrated its 20th Anniversary with a new Airbus A330-300 (B-HWG) painted in a special livery. The work of art took 14 months to realise, from design tender to completed image."
@MegaDeathwarrant I m not so sure I so wrong... look it up. Airbus came up on top of order placements in the last airshow. (Paris, June 2011) again, I might be wrong but still, look it up. No offense meant about Boeing which I very much like too.
What an awesome paint scheme Dragonair has! Thanks for the video! I wish the major airlines in the United States would upgrade and change theirs. The ones from United, Southwest, Delta, and American Airlines just bore me to tears. You would think they would want to make change already to show the public "Hey, we've changed; we're new" !!! I really like the Asian airlines liveries, and I just luv the baby blue of Korean Airlines... and the nice scheme of Cathay. Why are the USA ones so blah?
I went to the China Airbus factory one time, the security was very good,bthey won’t let us bring anything go inside, also camera or phone, many security guide will follow you and look after you, I think the security there is very good.
Btw, read for Aloha Airlines Flight 243 Boeing 737 material fatigue accident and then rethink what you wrote. No Airbus ever experienced such catastrophic material fatigue.
is there a video with Cathays A330 100th aircraft? i was searching for that. btw this video is fab, where do you get these? tried the airbus website..no luck:-(. anyway greatful for posting it.
Still remember watching this video a lot as a child. The memories hit hard with this one!
Remembered watching this as a kid...2000s Airbus was certainly a vibe.
Saw this plant in HK int'l airport , it's beautiful. I love Airbus A330, also Dragonair :)
The most colorful scheme ever in an A330.
AMAZING!!!I bet the designers and the people who participated in designing,building,assembling and painting the aircraft are very proud and happy with their success.
Man's greatest gift (creativity) and man's greatest invention (airplanes combined)!!!! I love this.
This is one of the best color schemes in an Airbus.
Both Airbus and Boeing are very secretive about their painting methods and this video shows you why that is.. Amazing, well done Airbus!!

The satisfaction those guys exeperience must be great!
This is an airline operated by Hong Kong BASED COMPANY.
This company is called Dragon Air.Swire almost fully own this airline.
it was so cool to see them uncover the windows

Great vid, i think its very interesting to watch how aircraft are being build.
holy shit, flying in that plane must be like flying in pollack's nightmare.
Just like a huge model kit
Deadset, I would HATE to see that crash. Fine work of art.
just one word..... BEAUTIFUL
That's one hell of a complex paintjob!.
Great plane. Not at all fussed with the colour scheme, look so busy..
@ amitnarayankar
it's not to difficult to understand:

Only one word to describe,Magnificent!
its amazing whatching these giants being built then after all the hard work watching them beat grafity. Its cool :) nice vid!
Great video. Now that Airbus have opened up a factory in China, they will learn and copy the technology, and compete against both Airbus and Boeing... way to go Airbus!
The only word i could say is "Incredible"... WOW!!!
simply amazing.
God creates man. Man creates amazing machines.
Great video....while I prefer the A332 (one of my favourite planes) over the A333, to see such works of art (both manufacturing and painting of the plane) is a thing of beauty and awe....
Amazing Video....
Always Liked Airbus...
They're simply the best in what they do...
great music + great paint...
Wow, That must be alot of paint! Considering just the tail flap is around 200 lbs of paint (I live near boeing, so I know a little bit :P)
That is an excruciatingly long process. Must cost a fortune for that special custom job. But it was worth it in the long run, it looks awesome.
wow, nice painting!
wow! Pretty Artwork!
Song name is, The - Alpeggiani
Not only pilot error.. maintenance and assembly are some major issues.. the problem is human error in or out of the cockpit.
Nice...I have this exact aircraft in a 1:400.
very very nice.
That's the best paint to a plane I've ever seen!! :O 5*
@transdrole
They do! For what do they need the dreamlifter?
Anyway, Airbus is a project of France, Germany, UK and Spain.
Airbus planes are defintely more advanced than their Boeing counterparts!
amazing video; great paint scheme; flew a DragonAir A330 a few years ago from Shanghai to HongKong - but that one was all white ;-)
lol the painting seems kinda long and hard. i wonder how hard it must have been to paint the singapore airlines "tropical megatop"
The Boeing 737 is the most successful selling aircraft in history, and based on its' numbers sold, definitely more poeple have perished than in the comparable A320. Airbus is a great company, but if as many A320's were sold as B737's, fatalities for Airbus would be higher.

BEST OF ALL THE WORLD
Wow, it takes longer to paint the plane... than to build it!!!
:-P
Probably an expensive ass livery...but hey I bet that job is alot of fun with those overhead gantries Boeing and Airbus use, makes it alot easier
if anyones following the 787-8 delema
0:41 shows the part that they are fixing the wing body join just an fyi
a PITA livery to do i have to say tho
Amazing!
no. the one that crashed is a a330-200. i believe this is the -300 series.
"On 5 May 2005, Dragonair celebrated its 20th Anniversary with a new Airbus A330-300 (B-HWG) painted in a special livery. The work of art took 14 months to realise, from design tender to completed image."
cool airplane
brill ace
AMAZING

Dude, that's an awesome video. I've got the full-version of the A340 assembly in my profile as well.
By the way, do you know the name of the music?
I would love having that job
Wow amazing vid
woah this plane has too many details!
@EatsYouUp Hey at least in this Video they didn't have to strip all the paint off the plane like they have to when repainting a plane.
i live the paint...i wish theres an repaint just like this @ X plane 8 or 9..
What an awesome paint scheme Dragonair has! Thanks for the video! I wish the major airlines in the United States would upgrade and change theirs.

Nice paint job boys, but the boss says this one is for Air France.
I went to the China Airbus factory one time, the security was very good,bthey won’t let us bring anything go inside, also camera or phone, many security guide will follow you and look after you, I think the security there is very good.
impressive well done!
amazing video! the assembly proccess is the same than the A340, and i dont know why the 777 need huge engines if normal ones are good ones
i like it very much!
me to
They are NOT 747 but Airbus 300-600ST Beluga. And, by the way, the section of an Antonov plane is smaller than Beluga's.
wow... 0:29 and we aleady got the air bus balugah in.... airbuses help airbus
perfect
don't quote me on it... But i think the music is specially commisioned by airbus.
Btw, read for Aloha Airlines Flight 243 Boeing 737 material fatigue accident and then rethink what you wrote. No Airbus ever experienced such catastrophic material fatigue.
WOW new plane!!!
I wonder what beoing uses since airbus uses their beluga....what DO they use to transport the parts?
incredible !! :-) and so beautiful
Dragon Air is based in Honk Kong,China
i love AIRBUS.
i never get how do they paint planes.......wats the technique.......they seem to paint n repaint nd then remove the paper nd its ready.......
Developed from the A300 and A310...as Mentioned above.
Good greif what a complicated painting process. Nice results dont get me wrong, but wow, that had to cost.
is there a video with Cathays A330 100th aircraft? i was searching for that. btw this video is fab, where do you get these? tried the airbus website..no luck:-(. anyway greatful for posting it.
amazing paint job!
is this the same type of aircraft that crashed on the coast of brazil?
really? how dooes it take to get together that big bird!
AMAZING!
amazing...
what if they start leasing their aircrafts for short intervals.. ;)
painters will be screwed doing this again and again
2021 someone?
i saw this plane couple weeks ago in hongkong
nice "boarding" music in the background.
@skateboy159 The A300 Beluga

Special plan, I like it, but how much did the painting cost?
yes
Song - The Alpeggiani
