This aircraft is duefor delivery in October. http://www.airbus.com/en/presscentre/press..._Singapore.html What I would like to know is when Will Virgin recieve their A380s, is it in Mid 2009 or prior to this? I have done some research but i cant seem to find any information about when Airbus Predict airlines will recieve their a/c. Regards, Chris

Or something similar anyway, so you won't be seeing them just yet.

I think that Singapore Malaysia and Emirates will use the A380 tho manchester but can the airport cope, is it big enough? In my opinion, only just but what do you guys think?

I imagine the airlines will be Singapore and Emirates as you said, but you never know, we may get a surprise! Morris
