A few of 380 fleet are going to have their mid life service done in Dresden. You can expect a couple of them to make the hop across the hill from VCV to LAX for gear swings before ferrying to Dresden. One was supposed to be in the next few days but got pushed a bit further to the right. Not sure the time frame on the others.

I’m not sure that this Dresden service includes the upgraded interiors (of which I think 6 were done) and is more like a heavy D check used to be on the Boeings.

Either way it’s good news for the A380 fleet and shows the confidence Qantas management still has in them to make a buck when there are few international restrictions. Personally I reckon we’re a chance of seeing them in revenue service before the end of 2022. Nothing official, just reading between the lines.
