Airbus A380

Et la compagnie entend continuer de grandir. THY-vice-président de Orhan Sivrikaya confirme à l'agence Bloomberg, que la compagnie aérienne a avec Airbus et Boeing des négociations de fondpour l'achat de nouveaux avions. Il examine des offres de Boeing pour le "Dreamliner" 787 et de Boeing pour le Super-Jumbo Airbus A380. Sivrikaya indique : "La décision devrait bientôt tomber."

Singapore Airlines said Wednesday it would start using the Airbus A380 superjumbo aircraft on its route to Melbourne, Australia's second most populous city, starting September 29. "The daily A380 flights will replace an existing daily Boeing 747-400 service to Melbourne," the airline said in a statement.

The 471-seat superjumbo would increase the seat capacity to Melbourne by 10 per cent without the need for additional flights.

Melbourne would be the sixth destination worldwide to which Singapore Airlines operates the A380, following services to Sydney, London, Tokyo, Paris and Hong Kong, according to the statement.


Singapore Airlines currently has nine A380 superjumbos in use with a further 10 on firm order and options on six more.

• 2 fuselages avant (MSN 49 et MSN 35)
  
• 1 fuselage central (MSN 49)
  
• 1 fuselage arrière (MSN 49)
  
• 1 Dérive (MSN 49)
  

Qantas:
MSN047 will make its first flight on the 4th August.
MSN050 will make its first flight on the 25th August.
Now the very surprising info is that after this they will be stored in Toulouse until MSN047 will be transferred to Hamburg on 29th April 2010 and MSN050 until 20th May 2010. For deliveries in October and December 2010. The delay is caused by Qantas deferring deliveries due the GFC. Of course we assumed the delays were for later frames but I guess we were wrong.
MSN026 will make its first post cabin installtion flight this week.
Lufthansa:
MSN038 has been scheduled for a first flight on the 18th September so roll out will occur in mid August.
Emirates
MSN028 has been scheduled for a first flight on the 17th September so roll out will occur in Mid August like MSN038.
MSN009 has a schedules for a first flight on 5th October and ferry flight 22nd October meaning a roll out early September.
Now please remember all the information above i.e dates are aprox and may change by a day or two. And this has yet to be confirmed by Airbus themselves so please dont write to Airbus and ask them to confirm.

SINGAPORE AIRLINES AND AIRBUS AGREE REVISED A380 DELIVERY SCHEDULE

Singapore Airlines and Airbus have agreed on a revised delivery schedule for eight A380 aircraft on firm order.

Under the new schedule, deliveries will take place between six months and 12 months later than originally planned, for the Airline’s 12th A380 through to the 19th.

The revised schedule will see the 12th aircraft delivered in October 2010 rather than April 2010, while the 19th aircraft will be delivered in January 2012 rather than January 2011.

SIA currently operates nine A380s with two more due for delivery this financial year. The revised schedule will not affect these two aircraft.

SIA is satisfied with the operational and commercial performance of its A380s, which have proved to be popular with customers since the inaugural service on the Singapore-Sydney route nearly two years ago. SIA currently flies the A380 twice a day to London, and daily to Sydney, Tokyo, Paris and Hong Kong, and starting from 29 September to Melbourne as well.
