First Wow Air A330 Emerges from Paint Shop at Guangzhou

WOW Air's first A330 emerges from paint shop at Guangzhou

Guangzhou Aircraft Maintenance & Engineering (GAMECO), which is based at China's Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, has completed painting works of WOW Air's first Airbus A330 aircraft.
WOW Air is set to take delivery of its first A330-300 aircraft from ICBC Leasing later this month, which will be used on its long-haul flights to San Francisco and Los Angeles in June 2016.

Powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 772B engines-60, the A330-300 aircraft is configured with 340 seats in an all-economy layout. Seat pitch will vary from 30 inches as standard to 34 inches at an additional charge.

To sever its new North American routes, WOW Air will have three all-economy A330-300s in its fleet, with the second and third one pending delivery in June and July, the airline said previously.
It is worthnoting that the Reykjavik-based airline is known for taking a light-hearted approach to their aircraft registrations, referring to their fleet as a family, including TF-MOM, TF-DAD, TF-SIS, TF-BRO, TF-SON and TF-KID.

WOW Air's first A330 has an especially unique registration code - TF-GAY, in a nod to the Californian city's role in the LGBT rights movement.

Airline founder and CEO Skúli Mogensen said the naming of TF-GAY in support of the LGBT community aligns with the company's ethos. Mogensen revealed that the TF-GAY registration number was suggested by one of the airline's pilots.
