All 12 have been flying over the last few days on southern hemisphere high season duty so there is not one out of service awaiting service in March.
The first A380 is not being refurbished in March, it’s already started with the arrival of the aircraft in AUH a few days ago. There is some conjecture around the wing crack issues that could see four of the fleet not upgraded and permanently grounded depending on the results of the concurrent D check being done.
