Is anyone aware of the latest A380 delivery schedule? 
Its apparent that the cracks and the lack of deliveries are hampering the schedule lately, with the second dailies of LAX and CPT being cancelled.

Delivery dates for these aircraft are still unknown. I presume until Emirates and Airbus come to an agreement. Until then I'd expect -EDX and -EDY to be held as well.

Sorry have to clarify this, are EDV and EDW the supers sitting in XFW? I herd one of them was sent from XFW to TLS to have its wings fixed... as EK said they wouldn't accept a A380 delivery until they were fixed simply because they didn't have enough space on the ground to put 388s until they were to go into maintenance. So if thats the case EDX and EDY must be in XFW as well?

The last word I heard on A6-EDY is that she's still on the production line, but roll out should be commenced anytime within the next month.

The newest B77W A6-EGR is currently on delivery. With the ongoing A380 issues, it seems that EK can't get the B77Ws quick enough.

A6-EGR's first revenue operation was to Beirut (BEY) as UAE/EK 953.
