A380 - any news?

Postby Red_Kite » Thu May 04, 2006 1:31 pm

Does anyone know how the A380 is progressing towards active service? Last I heard is that the first ones won't be flying 'till late summer. The first to fly was going to be Sigapore Airlines. We will be flying to Singapore with them next January and I just wandered what our chances would be of it being in an all new A380.  ::)

Anyone in the know?
