Any murmurings of when the first A380 might taken 'offline' to go in for refit? Aware that the delays on upstream manufacturing has compounded setbacks, and have heard the 'mid-2026' line said in several places, but curious to know if there's a commonly understood timeline between taken out of service > refit in progress > back in service.

We had booked the 2nd of the two daily LHR > MIA flights (BA209) for this coming September, as it was billed to be running Club Suites. But alas, the 209 has been cancelled and condensed back down to a single A380 run daily (BA207). Sod's law.
We are putting as many positive vibes into the ether for another change, or if we dare to be so mindlessly optimistic, possibly a refitted model.
