Delivery of an aircraft is done at the airlines hub which is abudhabi, and not at the Airbus ramp at Toulose.
The aircracft will be flown by the Airbus crew for delivery. Its not a Toyota corolla to go to the showroom take it and drive home. Niether its a washing machine to operate reading its manual.LOL
This was happned during a predlivery test by Airbus crew.

Nine persons on board an Airbus 340-600, due for delivery to UAE carrier Etihad Airways, were injured when the aircraft sustained airframe damage at the manufacturer's headquarters in France, the company said.
Nine persons had sustained injuries in the accident, a press release by Abu Dhabi-based carrier Etihad said.
"Etihad Airways has been made aware of an incident involving an Airbus A340-600 type aircraft at the manufacturer's headquarters in Toulouse in France today," the release said on Thursday.
"We understand the aircraft was undergoing pre-delivery engine tests and sustained airframe damage as a result of the incident. No Etihad Airways staff has been involved in this incident," it said.
The aircraft was scheduled to be delivered to Etihad Airways next week.
