A6-EDA was delivered on 29-July-2008, so we're 10 years in. SQ got rid of their first ones at 10 years but those were leased iirc

Was that the last with SkyCruisers?

I remember the SkyCruiser seat being introduced by EK and how much more comfortable they were compared to the old sleeperette ones in F. Fond memories. RIP SkyCruiser

HiFly? Delta likes used frames too...

I am not sure I fully understand EK needing the A380 line to be open - so they get new frames, but what about the ones they need to retire? Does having the line open simply anchor the price for the secondary market?

That, but also availability of spare parts and maintaining the tooling for them. If there's no need for new A380s Airbus will eventually change the tooling and utilise the space for other more in-demand models. To continue producing parts for the A380 will become too expensive eventually. Especially large parts like doors, gears, hydraulics, if an A380 gets hit by a catering truck the door might need replacing. Who's going to manufacture that door and at what price?

And today A6-EOP (A380) has been already away from maintenance few weeks ago and now it's gone into storage as well.

Here's another thing about the A380 thread: A6-EVA, EVB were both build in 2014 and originally for SkyMark and never taken up, however it appears that both A380 is featured in 2 class. EVA already in service and EVB is still on hold for delivery. EVC and onward has no configuration details yet.

After EVB, all A380s for the foreseeable future (up to EVJ at least) will be 3-class.

Amongst long haul airlines, I would say yes. But overall some LCCs like Ryanair are even more consistent.

Are the A380 with new lounges operated on CDG-DXB ?

Thanks

There are only a couple of 3-class A380s with the new lounge. Most are 2 class. So, in theory it's possible, but unlikely.
