A valuable member of the forum has provided us with a production update:

Toulouse
********
Both MSN066 (Lufthansa #6) and MSN035 (Korean Air #1) are scheduled to have their First Flights in October, with Ferry Flights to Hamburg in October for MSN066, and early November for MSN035.
MSN064 (Air France #6) is planned to fly to Hamburg this week.

In Hamburg
**********
MSN047 (Qantas #7), MSN056 (Emirates #14) and MSN048 (Lufthansa #4) are currently standing on the flightline.
MSN055 (Qantas #9) and MSN057 (Emirates #15) are both in flightline hangars, having some final outfitting work done. MSN055 is not painted yet, and will go in for painting when MSN050 (Qantas #8) is done.
MSN050 will finish in the paint hangars next week.

Only 5 of the 6 outfitting bays are currently being occupied. MSN064 for Air France will take spot #6 in the next few weeks.

The forward and rear fuselage, as well as the wings were the components convoyed. The center fuselage and tail plane are scheduled to arrive in a few weeks on Convoy #18/2010.

Earlier this week Singapore Airlines thirteenth A380 (MSN065) performed it’s first flight. MSN065 has since been transferred to Hamburg for outfitting.

Two Emirates frames can also be seen in the picture above, MSN056 and MSN057 which both completed outfitting yesterday.

The three frames that can be seen in this photo are MSN065 (Singapore Airlines #13), MSN064 (Air France #6) and MSN071 (Singapore Airlines #14). All of these frames still have quite a lot of work to go, So we won’t expect to see them on the flightline for a month or two.

We can confirm that MSN057 (Emirates #15) will be the next A380 to transfer to Hamburg, as MSN052 (Air France #5) still has part of it’s APU missing and MSN055 (Qantas #9) is missing at least one escape slide.

MSN052 (Air France #5) is one of the three, and was rolled out early in week.  Earlier this year MSN052 was put into short term storage at the request of Air France. But now she is back on track.

Also rolling out this week, was MSN057 (Emirates #15). If you can remember earlier in the year MSN057 spent a few weeks on the flightline, while waiting for a spot in second stage Final Assembly.

And last but not least, MSN055 (Qantas #9) which was rolled out late yesterday evening.

MSN055 is the frame on the right.
