Thanks for clarifying that; I had thought the plan was to have 6 in the fleet by end of 2009, but the March deferal confused me and added credence to the rumours that all 2009 deliveries were defered.

It actually isn't a big slip in the rollout and shouldn't affect most of the future schedule (those flights already scheduled as A380 will probably be able to operate with 6 in the fleet). It does mean only LAX/SIN/LHR/SYD/MEL will be seeing A380s for the next couple of years.
