So far as I know the deliveries to date are:

Singapore - 9 or 10

Emirates - 5

Qantas - at least 1 in service, but could be up to 4 delivered.

All passenger aircraft.

QANTAS has 4 in service (VH-OQA, OQB, OQC, OQD) and another 2 to be delivered by year's end.

Why the question on Freight Dogs?

Probably 10 years before a freight version - if ever - airfield logistics would be too specialised.

Good day. I am the pedant from the Ministry of Incorrect Apostrophy use and the use of the Shift Button to get a Capital Letter - or MIASBCL and I feel that the initial post is beyond the normal limit.

The A380 Freighter, when it arrives, will need very little in terms of specialised kit - just a high level container loader.

It's the Beluga, A300-600ST, that needs special kit - or a big crane!

Last I heard, Airbus canceled the freighter development. UPS and FedEx no longer have any on order.

It's not cancelled, it's just resting while the freight sector recovers. Airbus did have orders from FedEx & UPS but in today's market...
But its day will come - just a little later than Airbus (and FedEx & UPS) initially thought.

To be factual, FedEx and UPS cancelled their orders long before 'todays market'....

They actually got pissed off with the delays and cancelled the orders as a result of that.
