I heard EK has been delayed A380 deliveries due to financial costly. So I am not aware about EK want to be increase more ordered A380-900 or 800 series. Let's the speculations on that one.

a380 to jfk is delayed.. OUCH!

ohh well ;)

uh-oh! It might to be pushback those date due to A380 delayed deliverable.

Does anybody know how many A380's Emirates have taken delivery of during 2009 so far ? The news on new additions seem to have stopped.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the plan was for 5-6 to be added to the fleet.

Two conflicting stories that represent the style of EK media relations: they want to delay the delivery of the A380 and in the same story they mentioned that they want to order more A380 :confused:

EK aren't the ones who want to delay the deliveries. Airbus is delaying deliveries because of persistent problems at their end.

EK A380's:
order 58 - delivered 5 - next deliveries 6th (12.12.09), 7th (21.12.09), 8th (??.12.09), 9th & 10th (Q2 2010), 11th, 12th & 13th (Q3 2010), 14th & 15th (Q4 2010)

Are you absolutely sure about this? Is that correctly those date where A380 will expect to be deliverable to EK? Do you really think EK will be deployment A380 service DXB-CDG/FCO/ICN/JFK?

Heard a similar story a few weeks ago, issue with suppliers to Airbus so Emirates will receive one less A380 this year as they will be pushed back a few weeks.

There have been some rumors that the 6th and 7th A380 have been delayed until February. I still believe they will be delivered in December 2009, the 8th A380 may be delayed to February 2010.

There will only 1 A380 will expected to be delivered, am I correct?

In my opinion 2 in December and 1 in February. Will check this week-end when I'm back in Hamburg.

Good! Let me know by the situation is going on for EK A380 expected to be deliverable.

EK wants more A380

Can they believe it EK wants more A380 and EK wants to be converted the orders from A350-900 to A350-1000XWB. This is really EK wants to put more odered newest 77W aircraft and also, EK is no longer to be interesting the 748I.

great report! I love flying in a380. no jet lag in that plane! I wish to fly in it more and more, Tim Clark sez they might order 20 more a380's I hope they do...
