Well 2009 was a bad year for Airbus in the A380 section, With Airbus only delivering 10 A380s during 2009. These were MSN007, MSN017, MSN023 (Emirates), MSN019, MSN021, MSN034, MSN045 (Singapore Airlines), MSN026, MSN027 (Qantas) and MSN033 (Air France).
The A380s that did not make Airbus schedule of 12 for the year were MSN029 (Qantas #6) which will now be delivered on January 8th and MSN040 (Air France #2) which will be delivered in late January.
MSN028 (Emirates) left the paint hanger last week which now opens a spot for MSN038 (Lufthansa #1) to enter the paint hanger.
MSN030 (Emirates) has yet to start taxi tests but Airbus is hoping to start them this week.

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.

MSN028 (Emirates) was transferred to Hamburg on the 20h. It landed in Hamburg around 16:30 local time.
MSN030 (Emirates) has re-arranged it’s schedule and will now make its first flight on the 12th November and ferry on the 18th November.
MSN038 (Lufthansa) was transferred to one of the outfitting hangers on the 19th.
It is not confirmed yet but we are about 80% sure that last weeks convoy was MSN056 for Emirates. We should get confirmation by next week.
MSN028 (Emirates) made its first flight late on Thursday. This is over two weeks when it started taxi tests. It will be transfered to Hamburg next week.
Convoy #14 has arrived in Toulouse but we cannot confirm the MSN just yet. We will let you know as soon as we know.
MSN028 (Emirates) made its RTO yesterday after a lengthy stay on the flightline. She is expected to fly shortley. MSN009 (Emirates) made its RTO on the 12th October around 19:30 local time. She is expected to make her first flight after refurbishment before weeks end.
MSN033 (Air France) has made a few more test flights prior to delivery to the French carrier on October 30th.
MSN009 and MSN028 (Emirates) will make an RTO around 18:00 (Toulouse time) tonight. MSN028 may fly tomorrow but not set in stone. MSN009 will probably fly either on Wednesday or Thursday.

MSN009 (Emirates) is scheduled to make its first flight (after being refurbished) tomorrow and then ferry to Hamburg on the 15th.
MSN028 (Emirates) has still not made its first flight and there is no dates released for first flight and ferry flight. Some reports are coming in of that there is a structural failure but this cannot be confirmed.
MSN030 (Emirates) is scheduled to be rolled out of the Final Assembly Line either this week or early next week.
Convoy #15 will also arrive in Toulouse this week. It will contain one forward fuselage. Many people are guessing it will be MSN035 (Korean Air).
