Well today I got a note from a source from inside Airbus and got some very interesting and surprising news. I will write it in airline order. (Please remember that is not confirmed by Airbus but by a source from inside Airbus)
Qantas:
MSN047 will make its first flight on the 4th August.
MSN050 will make its first flight on the 25th August.
Now the very surprising info is that after this they will be stored in Toulouse until MSN047 will be transferred to Hamburg on 29th April 2010 and MSN050 until 20th May 2010. For deliveries in October and December 2010. The delay is caused by Qantas deferring deliveries due the GFC. Of course we assumed the delays were for later frames but I guess we were wrong.
MSN026 will make its first post cabin installtion flight this week.
Lufthansa:
MSN038 has been scheduled for a first flight on the 18th September so roll out will occur in mid August.
Emirates
MSN028 has been scheduled for a first flight on the 17th September so roll out will occur in Mid August like MSN038.
MSN009 has a schedules for a first flight on 5th October and ferry flight 22nd October meaning a roll out early September.
Now please remember all the information above i.e dates are aprox and may change by a day or two. And this has yet to be confirmed by Airbus themselves so please dont write to Airbus and ask them to confirm.
