As one convoy arrives in Toulouse another is announced this time for May 11-14th. People are speculating that it is most likely to be MSN030 for Emirates. It is also showing two forward fuselages (this can be a typo however).

Just got from one of my sources a production list for A380 deliveries in 2009 and 2010.

(This was created with current information presumed on 2009 and 2010)

17 (Most likely 15)

Emirates 7x (5x) = 017, 023, 007, 028, 025, ( 009, 030 probably in 2010)
Singapore 4x = 021, 019, 034, 045
Qantas 4x = 026, 027, 029, 047, (050 most likely 2010)
Air France 2x = 033, 040

And for the 2010 a total of 19 plus probably a few more.

Lufthansa 7x = 038, 041 (Q1-2010), 044, 048 (Q2-2010), 061, 066, (Q3-2010) 076 (Q4-2010)
Singapoure 4x = 051, 065, 071, 073
Emirates 7x = 042, 046, 056, 057, 059, 060, 063 ( 03-2010 – 03-2011)
Qantas Not Known in 2010
Air France Not known in 2010
VIP Prince Al 1x = MSN002

And the 6th airline Korean Air there first aircraft MSN035 is unknown.

Thanks to Oldfly1 for the info

These show us that new doors have been attached and also new windows installed and new engines have the Emirates livery.MSN007As you can see new doors there. Escape slides still need to be installed.                                                                                                                                                                     MSN007In other news MSN021 for Singapore Airlines has left the paint shop in Hamburg and is now sitting next to MSN017 for Emirates (Delivery this week) and will be delivered soon.                                                                                                             MSN019MSN034 (Singapore) this week moved into the paint hall and MSN019 (Singapore) is almost finished in the paint hall and will be probably the next to come out after MSN026 (Qantas) but this may be delayed so MSN009could come out first.

MSN007 (Production A380) has made its way out of the hanger and on the flightline in preparation for its first flight after major refurbishment (Having EA engine installed). This will be delivered to Emirates in late Q4 2009. It can be seen below behind MSN023.MSN007 (Emirates)I other news MSN023 will make its first flight sometime this week and then be ferried to Hamburg before being delivered in Q4 2009. There are two photos that came up on Flickr today showing parts of most likely MSN051 (SQ). One is a tail which does not have the Singapore colour scheme. All of Singapore Airlines A380 before have had the a Singapore tail (MSN005 only had the colour not logo). So people are speculating that this may be due to Singapore deferring the order or even selling the frame. A380 Production is yet to confirm this yet.MSN051 TailMSN051We will try and update you on this matter this week.

Qantas has decided to defer 4 of its A380 deliverys due  from a profit downgrade. It will also be cutting up to 1750 jobs and grounding 10 aircraft. A380 Production sources state that it looks like MSN055, MSN062, MSN067 and MSN070 will be the aircraft defered. This is what the current status of Qantas’s A380s at the moment
