The first QF A380 is on its wheels and left the 'assembly line' approx. 6 weeks ago. The engines and interior fitout is underway.
SQ are also concerned by the 'empty weight' of the A380 but are used to being conned by Airbus and will proceed with the A380 acquisition to save face.
A SQ Board Meeting on 9 May will consider a recommendation to replace the A340-500 with the B777-200LR. A possible order for the B747-8 is also on the cards.
