The first pictures of Convoy #15 have arrived and of course it is MSN056 and MSN057 both for Emirates. MSN056 will enter body join first as the rest of MSN057 will come on Convoy #16, most likely in two weeks time.
Emirates now have ten A380s in the late production stages (MSN007,MSN009,MSN023,MSN025,MSN028,MSN030,MSN042,MSN046,MSN056,MSN057). This means by the end of 2010 Emirates will have 15 A380s in service.
