A380 Production Update: February 2010 (#13)

MSN049 (Air France #4) was transferred to Hamburg for Outfitting at the end of last week. MSN049 has quite a wait ahead, as there are no slots for Outfitting at the moment and wont be for a few weeks.

Last week we got an email with some very useful information in it. The email contained dates of notice in the A380 production line, and this week will be a big week.

We will see the roll out of MSN047 (Qantas #7), MSN048 (Lufthansa #4) and MSN052 (Air France #5). MSN047 will be transferred to Hamburg in the last week of March. First flight dates for MSN048 and MSN052 have not been announced yet.

MSN050 (Qantas #8) will be rolled out in April and be transferred to Hamburg for Outfitting in May.

MSN002 (Private) will be rolled out of the refitting hangars in late June/July. MSN002 will be delivered in August.

A better shot of MSN050 has come up. It also shows either MSN002 or MSN009 in the halls behind as well. Yet to confirm which one.

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.
