Several aviation forums are reporting that Emirates will be suspending A380 deliveries in 2011. We cannot yet confirm or deny this, but current production schedules still state that the airline will receive three A380s in Q3/Q4 2011 (MSN060, MSN077, and MSN080).
If Emirates were to suspend deliveries, it would halt deployment of the A380 on key routes such as Dubai-Melbourne and Dubai-Singapore.
Over in Toulouse, Singapore Airlines’ twelfth A380 (MSN058) successfully performed her first flight; it was also her ferry flight to Hamburg for cabin outfitting.
