Emirates announces delivery date for A380
I found this on jetphotos.net:
Emirates Airline (Dubai), the largest customer of the Airbus A380 Superjumbo, will receive its first delivery of the aircraft on July 28, 2008, after a two-year wait caused by production delays. The long-awaited unveiling of the Emirates A380 interior, rumoured to include lavish features such as onboard showers, will be revealed during a ceremony at Airbus’s Hamburg factory.
“The A380, with its large capacity and excellent operating economics, will be one of the pillars of Emirates’s future growth,” said Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed, the chairman and chief executive of the Emirates Group. Emirates has 58 of the aircraft on order, worth an estimated $18.8 billion USD at list prices. Airbus has promised to deliver the first five A380s to Emirates in the airline’s fiscal year ending in March 2009. The aircraft will all be outfitted in a three-class configuration of 489 seats, with 14 seats in first class, 76 in business, and 399 in economy.
