Nope, an A380 delivery requires that you cough a substantial amount of cash to get the key to the aircraft. IT (like AI for the 787) simply doesn't have the cash or credibility to raise the cash in the market at a decent interest rate.

That's why they (KF) is delaying to take the delivery of 380. They have further pushed the delivery of first plane to 2015/2016.

It would be interesting to see whether this delay will serve any purpose for KF.
