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

(This was created with current information presumed on 2009 and 2010)

17 (Most likely 15)

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)
Singapoure 4x = 051, 065, 071, 073
Emirates 7x = 042, 046, 056, 057, 059, 060, 063 ( 03-2010 – 03-2011)
Qantas Not Known in 2010
Air France Not known in 2010
VIP Prince Al 1x = MSN002

And the 6th airline Korean Air there first aircraft MSN035 is unknown.

A380 Production Update: March 2009 (#5)

A380 Releated Links, Avalon, Convoy, Emirates, MSN027, MSN045, Qantas, Singapore Airlines | Posted by Oliver Gigacz

Well, it looks as though the A380s were not grounded. We know that Qantas still has all three in service. One landed this evening in Avalon (YMAV), a Qantas maintenance base, but it could be for the upcoming Australian International Airshow held there. Emirates and Singapore also still have all their A380s in service.

On the production side, there is still little news. Like MSN045, MSN027 was moved back into the sheds to have its escape slides installed. MSN028 for Emirates will be the next frame convoyed March 9-12.

MSN045 (F-WWSG), Singapore Airlines’s tenth A380, will be performing its first engine tests today, and is expected to fly in either late February or early March, with delivery in Q3 or Q4 2009.

MSN038 (F-WWSH), Lufthansa’s first A380, will finally be entering final assembly in Toulouse tomorrow night, after a very long wait. Here’s a picture of what it will look like in the Lufthansa color scheme.
And finally, MSN019  will be delivered to Singapore Airlines in April.

A380 Production Update: February 2009 (#5)

We have a few more updates. We thought MSN051, Singapore’s eleventh A380, was spotted yesterday. But we’ve been informed it’s MSN045, Singapore’s tenth, being towed into a hanger. We don’t know why yet.

We now also know that MSN027, Qantas’ fifth A380, has been towed out of the hangers with its engines attached. While we wondered earlier this week whether it was MSN027 or MSN029 (Qantas’ sixth), we now know it to be MSN027  (thanks to David Barrie) and we will add a picture as soon as possible.

In addition, MSN033, Air France’s first A380, had her first rejected take-off, and should fly during the weekend.
