Malaysia Airlines Airbus A380 interior pictures were taken when the plane arrived in KLIA after the final fittings in Toulouse, France.

As this was the complete finished look of the plane, it was delivered on June 29th, 2012 as the maiden flight was from Kuala Lumpur to London on July 1st, 2012.

When the Airbus plane landed, there was a water cannon welcome as it officially docked for the first time at Gate C27 in the Satellite building in KLIA.

Hoards of reporters, crew, VIPs, invited guests, staff, and engineers were seen waiting for this auspicious moment for the airline.

For the curious, you may be wondering why the blue colored livery, well it has been a topic that many have pondered about over the last year.

As I spoke to one of the representatives of Malaysia Airlines, I was told that the new blue livery is to signify the premium class aircraft and will only be used for the Airbus A380 planes.

The rest of the fleet will be using the new design red and blue livery too.
