More action this month as the production line is speeding up to meet 2009 and 2010 deliveries. I’ve simplified ( improved ? ) the categories shown here.

Major movements were ;

MSN017-EK delivered
MSN027-QF and MSN29-QF flew to XFW
MSN041-LH and MSN051-SQ convoy to TLS

Current situation ( end March figures in brackets )

In service 14 ( 13 )

In production ;
At XFW for outfitting and painting 8 ( 7 )
At TLS for assembly/refit 13 ( 13 )
Parts building 14 ( 11 )

Not yet started / postponed 12 ( 17 )

Airbus ( test and demo ) 2 ( 2 )

Cancelled ( freighters ) 2 ( 2 )

MSN065-SQ has been reported as ‘Parts Building’ so totals have been updated to include all MSNs up to and including this one.

The 35 planes in production are for these customers ;

EK 10, SQ 7, QF 5, AF 5, LH 4, CZ 2, KE 1, VIP 1

The parts for the two CZ planes will probably be redeployed to another MSN.

Deliveries to come are showing as 14 ( total 15 ) in 2009 and 22 in 2010. These look realistic given the current situation.

Thanks to Geoff for the info.

The new doors are visible here; the escape slides have not yet been installed.

In other news, Singapore’s MSN021 has left the Hamburg paint shop and is sitting next to Emirate’s MSN017 (to be delivered this week) in preparation for delivery.

This week, Singapore’s MSN034 moved into the paint hall, where Singapore’s MSN019 is nearing completion. MSN019 will probably be the next to leave the paint hall, after Qantas’ MSN026, or it could be delayed so that MSN009 can come out first.

We also have confirmation that the next convoy on April 20-24th will carry MSN041, the second A380 for Lufthansa.

The Hamburg site is now looking quite full, with MSN017, MSN019, MSN021, MSN026, MSN027, MSN029, MSN033, MSN034, and MSN045!

MSN017 for Emirates (A6-EDE) will most likely be delivered April 24th.

Back in Toulouse, MSN023 for Emirates will be starting engine tests shortly.
