Qantas to receive three more A380s this month. Dec 2010
 

The part in story that intested me the most is that "John Leahy said yesterday Airbus is "on track" to deliver three more A380s this month. Airbus said the planes are all destined for Qantas. "

Does anyone know the actual day's the planes are due ?

So that means the SQ's A380 will definitely be January now!

Current status of upcoming A380 deliveries.

2010:
MSN047 - VH-OQG -Interior Completed - Fully Painted (In Toulouse - Awaiting Delivery)
MSN050 - VH-OQH - Interior Completed - Fully Painted (In Hamburg - Cabin Testing)
MSN055 - VH-OQI - Interior Completed - Fully Painted (In Hamburg - Cabin Testing)

2011:
MSN062 - VH-OQJ - Interior Completed (In Hamburg - Painting) - Delivery March 2011
MSN063 - VH-OQK - Final Assmebly Line - Stage 2 (Toulouse) - Delivery Q3 2011
MSN074 - VH-OQL - Final Assembly Line - Stage 2 (Toulouse) - Delivery Q3 2011

Emirates got their 15th, A6-EDO (057) this week - 75 to go!

VH-OQG(assuming) to be delivered on Thursday as QF6028 from TLS via SIN. at 6:50pm.

Anyone know what times the gates to the beach close this time of year?

I believe OQG has one of the A model engines on it and needs replacing. Does anyone know if that's been done?

Buzz

I beleive they have all been replaced and have the B class engines on them, thus the reason for the delaying in delivery of OQG until this WED from TLS.

Also MSN55 will be delivered ahead of MSN050, according to the latest from Hamburg. (MSN055 only has one Pre delivery flight to make before flying back to TLS for delivery)

Can anyone expand further on what problems MSN050 has been having. There has been reports of a lot of niggling things and has been referred to by some in Hamburg and Toulouse as the "problem child"

Don't make any plans to be there for the arrival - it won't arrive on Thursday.

Why is that?
