Very little news this week on the A380 front. MSN023 (F-WWST) will probably be transfered to Hamburg soon. MSN040 (F-WWSE) and MSN007 (F-WWJB) will move to the next stages of production, engine tests within the next 14 days. In Hamburg it is still MSN021 on the flightline. MSN034 should be coming out of the paint hangers this week to. The next covoy is due to start tomorrow.

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)
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)

Thanks to Oldfly1 for the info
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.
MSN027 (F-WWSY) and MSN029 (F-WWSA) have finally arrived in Hamburg.
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.
Well as we know, the last few weeks have been pretty quiet for New Year’s break. Just a few small updates to start off our new blog…
First of all, the first A380 for Air France (F-WWSB) rolled off the Final Assembly Line in the first week of January, and will be making its first flight in either late January or in early-to-mid February.
Also, MSN034 for Singapore Airlines (F-WWSC) made its first flight on January 14, 2009. It is now currently in Hamburg for outfitting.
The next few planes to roll off the line will be MSN023 for Emirates, and MSN027 for Qantas.
