Yes, there is always a chance the delay gets further extended, and we all hope this won't happen.

Since OZ 1st A380 was delivered 21 days after CFF (and looking at KE A380s, the last two show 25 days and 21 days, respectively), I'd say OZ will have their second A380 on early August.
Just enough to keep the revised schedule.

Looks like CFF (Cabin First Flight) was done on July 12th.

OK, the schedules have changed yet again, for better this time.
Delivery of OZ 2nd A380 seems to be scheduled on July 25th: http://a380.boards.net/thread/636/a380-msn155-oz-2 (page 11)
And looking at flyasiana.com, it looks like LAX-ICN will be flying A380 from August 20th (followed by ICN-LAX on the same day), while ICN-BKK (and of course ICN-KIX as well?) will have A380 from July 30th.

ICN-NRT will stop using the A380 when LAX starts as well, but ICN-HKG will continue 5 times a week.
Their A380 site has the relevant routes and dates:

Where will the 2nd plane go? Maybe New York or Sydney? Just saw a picture of 2 OZ A380's parked at ICN on airliners.net. I couldn't resist the low fares out of LAX - just booked a trip for Feb-March '15, and called the LA office to book my seats (upper deck in Y) - the recording says seats will be available online at a later date, but the OZ agent happily gave me row 74 aisle.
