The source I got this info from is very relible and all is info in the past has been correct. "MSN027 and MSN029 will be delivered in November" is what he said to me.

The question mark was there for a reason Ash. I don't know. I had heard that QF were delaying the craft due to 'finicky' little problems but it was mentioned cynically that this suited QF due to financial reasons. The opportunity was there for some (thanks Oliver) to offer a factual reason. BTW, I'll take QF anyday (I'm a Silver FF) and everyday over JQ and it annoys the crap out of me when I have to use QF FF points to fly to the likes of the Gold Coast with JQ. If I have to fly there (or similar ports where QF have abandoned for JQ) with the company paying, I'll go DJ. |

MSN029 is now out of the hangars and MSN027 has started taxi tests and will ferry to Toulouse on Thursday. They are both still on schedule for delivery this year.

I wonder if this will have an effect on QF's deliveries?
Arrival of first Lufthansa A380 Put Back a Few Weeks especially bearing in mind it is due to Airbus, not the airline. http://yssyforum.net/board/showthread.php?t=4295 |

No. As Lufthansa is a new airline for the A380 it will not effect QF A380s as a lot of the systems on board are different.

Hmmm so what to think of the rumour of the Feb deliveries of the 5+6th A380's....

That is a false rumor I have a relible source from Airbus that deliveries will be in 2009.
Also if you read the Qantas thing from the ASX it states on 3 A380 delivires next year which will be the two stored in Toulouse at the moment and also one new arrival which will arrive by Convoy in Toulouse in January.
