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

Emirates 7x (5x) = 017, 023, 007, 028, 025, ( 009, 030 probably in 2010)

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)

As I stated last week MSN019 was out of the hangers in Hamburg. But in-fact it is MSN021 not MSN019. We apologies for any inconvenience.

A380 Production Update: April 2009 (#9)

More photos of Emirates’ MSN007 have emerged showing newly installed doors and windows, along with new engines in Emirates livery.

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.
