a380 deliver's
any body know how many and to whom the 380's have gone to?
|
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. |

Why the question on Freight Dogs?
Probably 10 years before a freight version - if ever - airfield logistics would be too specialised. |
Is That Why Ups Had Some On Order?????

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. |

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