Well its getting to the last deliveries of 2009 and it is going to be very busy. We have delivery of MSN007, MSN023, MSN025 (Emirates – Still Unsure), MSN027, MSN029 (Qantas) and MSN040 (Air France). MSN007 and MSN027 in the last few days have been sending ACARS messages but we are still to confirm if they are on the flightline. The rest of them will have to be put on the flightline very soon. So spotters in Hamburg will be very happy.
We are unsure if MSN007 will be the first to be delivered but it is the only one with a confirmed date.
MSN027 and MSN029 will be ferried to Toulouse for delivery and the rest will be delivered from Hamburg.
Back in Toulouse, and it has been looking the same for over three weeks now with MSN030 (Emirates) the only one on the flightline. This is a first for a longtime on the A380 flightline with only one production frame there. We have all been waiting for the roll out of MSN041 (Lufthansa) and MSN046 (Emirates) but yet no movement. But there dates for first flight (Mid December) have not changed for a while. We have feared they will be moved into 2010 like MSN030.
