The first A350 XWB for Vietnam Airlines, MSN14, has been rolled out of the paint hangar in Toulouse, France, according to a source familiar with the matter.

The A350-900 aircraft in the new livery of Vietnam Airlines was captured by Flickr user Jujug Spotting when it was emerged from the paint hangar on Saturday morning.

Vietnam Airlines has a total of 14 A350 XWBs on order, including ten on order from Airbus and four under lease agreements. Scheduled for delivery in mid-2015, the first A350 aircraft is planned to be deployed on Hanoi-Paris route by the end of the third quarter, making Vietnam Airlines the first carrier in the Far East to fly the A350 XWB.

The airline's first A350-900 features 305 seats in a three-class configuration, including 29 in Business Class, 45 in Premium Economy Class and 231 in Economy Class both in a 3-3-3 layout.

Meanwhile, Vietnam Airlines' first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, MSN35151, has been loaded on the assembly line on Sunday, scheduled for delivery in May, according to Twitter user ‏@B787fans.
