Well i know that the First A380 has nearly completed its test flights and has already being painted in the Singapore Airlines livery. This aircraft is duefor delivery in October.

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.

IIRC, Virgin deferred delivery of their A380s til 2013. Or something similar anyway, so you won't be seeing them just yet.

Yep, Dan is correct. A quick wikipedia search is the best way to find out.

Thanks for the research guys.

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?

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

I guess Mr.Mallya of Kingfisher Airlines is negotiating with Airbus for early delivery of their A380s. Anybody have any news on it?
