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 some updates. More photos of MSN007 for Emirates have cropped up. These show us that new doors have been attached and also new windows installed and new engines have the Emirates livery.
As you can see new doors there. Escape slides still need to be installed. 
In other news MSN021 for Singapore Airlines has left the paint shop in Hamburg and is now sitting next to MSN017 for Emirates (Delivery this week) and will be delivered soon. 
MSN034 (Singapore) this week moved into the paint hall and MSN019 (Singapore) is almost finished in the paint hall and will be probably the next to come out after MSN026 (Qantas) but this may be delayed so MSN009could come out first. We have also had confirmation that the next convoy April 20-24th will be the second for Lufthansa MSN041.
MSN027 (F-WWSY) and MSN029 (F-WWSA) have arrived finally in Hamburg.
Hamburg is now very full with MSN017, MSN019, MSN021, MSN026, MSN027, MSN029, MSN033, MSN034 and MSN045. MSN017 for Emirates (A6-EDE) will most likely be delivered on April 24th. Back in Toulouse MSN023 for Emirates will start engine tests shortley.
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.
