Supplying the World with the Latest A380 News
Finally after thirty one weeks in Final Assembly, Qantas’s tenth A380 (MSN062) has been moved to the flightline.
Most of us expecting MSN062 to roll out over a month ago, and perform her first flight around now. But with this delay we won’t expect to see MSN062 in the air until the middle of September.
Delivery to Qantas is still on track for March 2011.
With Convoy #14/2010 arriving in Toulouse, another is announced. Convoy #15/2010 is scheduled to begin on August 30th.
The Convoy will be carrying the center fuselage for China Southern’s first A380 (MSN031) and also a forward fuselage, rear fuselage, wing pair and tail plane for an unknown MSN.
I would like to apologize to everyone for there being no updates over the past few days. This will most likely to continue over the next couple of weeks, as most of Airbus is on holidays.
All of us here at A380 Production are still on full alert and we will certainly post any news if any should come about.
