The A330-900 plane in the video, named Aapravasi Ghat, after a Mauritian UNESCO World Heritage site, has now been handed over to Air Mauritius.
It features a two-class cabin with 28 business class seats and 260 economy class seats. Power comes from the latest-generation Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines.
The A330 currently has an order book of more than 1,700 aircraft from 120 customers.
