The 21m (69ft) section, which includes the cockpit, was transported by an A300-600ST freighter from the airframer's French plant at Saint Nazaire.
Final assembly of the airframe, MSN1, will start "over the summer period", says Airbus, when the forward section is mated with the centre and aft fuselage.
