This video, produced by Airbus, shows the step-by-step build of Vietnam Airlines’ first A350-XWB, a long-range, twin-engine wide-body jet developed by the European aircraft manufacturer.

The new aircraft joins the airline's existing Airbus fleet of 59 aircraft, comprising 49 A321s and 10 A330s.

Not only does it look good, but it also represents Vietnam Airlines’ major ambition to become a regional aviation powerhouse in the coming years.

The plane in the video below was delivered on June 30 and will be used for non-stop service between Hanoi and Paris starting this September.
