I cannot wait to see the end of the A380's. Was there not a more suitable airliner at the time rather than a four engined blimp.

Am I correct to say that only Emirates has A380's left on order at this stage?

With only approx. 260 built and a few left on order and a couple already scrapped, could they be called a flop especially if Emirates hadn't ordered any.

As you can see I hate them lol.

Does anyone know when OQF will return from Singapore?

When they find an engine for her that will start, No 2 won’t.

A380 VH-OQD operated QF35 today to SIN and is turning around as QF2 departing shortly to SYD. QF36 SIN- MEL has been cancelled as was the LHR-SIN leg of QF2.

Will have to see whether Monday's QF35 or QF93 MEL-LAX are cancelled.

VH-OQF returned to service operating QF36 SIN-MEL overnight.

Ah, finally there was movement at the station... OQJ has just left AUH as QF6010 on its return to SYD and is due to arrive at 20:05 this evening, at this stage. She left SYD on 8/10/19 for maintenance in AUH.

The eleventh A380 is needed by QANTAS to commence QF17/18 services to LAX from this Friday evening. No word yet on OQH which is in DRS for refurbishment. It is needed back to commence A380 operations to HKG from 19/12/19.

Do we know yet if OQJ has been refurbished as there was meant to be 3 by the end of this year?

No, just maintenance in AUH. Only two will be refurbished by the end of the year.

Thanks James........think Qantas having all the A380's refurbished by the end of 2020 may not happen!

Peter, have a look at my post #72 in this thread. QANTAS will need to have two A380 being refurbished at the same time to have any hope of the work being completed in 2020.
