Blagnac: Musée Aeroscopia - Let's meet Airbus 
Description
Tours start from the Museum and after a brief introduction to how the tour will operate you board a bus and are driven into the Airbus complex. There's a stop outside the A330 paint shop to see what planes have recently been painted, then a drive to go and see the Airbus Beluga planes - the enormous freighters used by the company to ship components between the different European factories to the final assembly lines here is Toulouse, then it's over to the A350 Final assembly line to get off the bus and go up to a viewing platform at tailfin height to look over the plant. As I visited on a Saturday there were no workers on the line, but visiting on a weekday you would see the lines being worked. From there it's back on the bus and over to the Delivery centre - this is where the finished planes are handed over to their new owners (after the corporate credit card has been successfully debited). Finally a drive back via the rear of the airport and the long runway that Toulouse has so that planes can be tested for abandoned take-offs and back to the museum where the tour finishes with the opportunity to go inside the test A400M, Airbus's military aircraft. ***NOTE*** Needs to be booked at least a couple of days in advance, including providing details of your National Identity Card or Passport if you are an EU citizen, or your passport if you are not an EU citizen. You then need to present this ID at the ticket desk 30 minutes before the tour starts.
