Actually, I think EK will gets 4 or 5 A380 to be delivered later this year and another 10 or 12 A380 to be delivered sometime in early 2013. We'll find out soon enough.

Anyone know if EDZ is in ULR configuration or the normal one.
[URL="http://forum.a380production.com/board/showthread.php?1035-CURRENT-FRAMES-in-HAMBURG-(1st-post)"]According to this link]/URL], the next 5 frames will be configured with crew rests. I personally find 5 a bit much with a 2nd daily JFK the only route announced so far requiring the ULH version . PER does also not require crew rests so is EK planning on A380's to BNE or fianlly to more destinations in America? Or is there simply a shortage of the ULH version?

EDZ was reported recently to be the ULR version (14F/76J/399Y)
I don't understand the rest of your post as the linked site says the next 5 frames are LR, therefore no crew rest (unless that site uses different terminology from here).

Oh right, messed up my terminology, though LR and ULR are the same thing and the others are just normal ones.
Sorry
