A380...routes??
Just a couple of questions for those who maybe in the know.. .:
1. Are there any 380's flying with fare paying pax at present, if so which routes are they operating?
2. When is the 380 expected to be a regular visitor to LHR?

Numbers 002, 004, 007 and 009 are flying test and publicity flights for Airbus. After the completion of tests, they are supposed to be refitted with customer wires and interior and be delivered. They used to be destined for Etihad; however, Etihad has deferred delivery. There are speculations that when Etihad does take delivery of their A380 orders, they take new airframes and the test planes would be sold secondhand as whitetails. One of the whitetail test frame buyers is alleged to be the Kingdom Holdings for the first Flying Palace.

SIA A380 routes
SIA will begin A380 into Heathrow on 8th February and are talking to MAN about being the 1st Alternate. No plans to introduce A380 on regular services to MAN in the foreseeable future but SQ327/328 likely to be upgraded to the 3-class B777-300ER next year.
