More likely aircraft parts of types they currently make, namely A320 (family), A330, A340 & A380.
It flies wings produced at the Airbus Factory at Broughton near Chester from Hawarden Airfield to Hamburg/Toulouse.
As far as I know it does not transport the A380 wings as they are far too big and have to be transported by barge instead.
