I'm ot sure, but I do know that the first airline to operate A380's is Singapore Airlines, Emirates, and soon to be Lufthansa, after Emirates.

Like Spirit MD-81 said: Singapore Airlines will be the first airline to operate the Airbus A380, therefore starting the first commercial service. However, Airbus is now preparing and assembling a handful or more like 500+ of random passengers that are interested in flying in the Airbus A380.

On another note:
The Engine Alliance Engines are go on the Airbus A380. Currently, Airbus is testing the new Airbus A380 engine on the ground via the Airbus A380.

The engine and the shape seems quite odd. Especially the small jet pipe and the tail cone.

Post-Script: Shouldn't this be in the Civil Aviation section?

Prior to the delivery delays being announced the first flight was supposed to be Singapore to Sydney later this year. I think they're waiting for a confirmed delivery date now before confirming the maiden flight in Singapore colours.

I thought it was scheduled for first revenue flights somewhere around 2007-2008 because of the delays. I could be wrong anyone know?

I know that Melbourne airport will be one of the first airports to serve the A380. I thought that it was going to start commercial service between October this year and October next year. Sorry but I'm not really sure on that though.
