A380 - Master Thread

[9V-SML]

What does the retrofit have to do with Dr. Peters' group scrapping the 5 early A380's?

They said they are going to retrofit the A380s soon, and the most recent article says they are to start the process from late 2018 (Well we're already in 2019, so they could have very well started this) according to this link even though it's from late 2017:

You misunderstand the object being “scrapped” in the OP’s post. It’s clearly a reference to the retrofit programme, not the scrapping of A380s.

Is the retrofit for the remaining A380 fleet being re-considered and might be scrapped for good?

There does not seem to be any further retrofitting happening, does it?

Sad but seemed inevitable...

These are the 5 first built A380s with heavier weight and wing and rewiring issues. However there seemsto be no secondhand values of used A380s as even later built A380s are not able to find new owners - as Malaysian Airline have been trying to get rid of its 6 A380s without success and so too was Thai A380s.

Wondering if there's a planned date for the SQ308?

I must say I prefer the old F, but the new J.

None that I know of, wasn't there a time when SQ308/321 got the new A380 when it had a spare on the ground?

LHR twice daily on new 388?

SQ 856 is using the new A380 if there is no last minute aircraft changes. Usually this flight is operated by the new A380 from London SQ317 which arives in SIN at 730am and the return flight from HKG to SIN is SQ 861.

[SQavgeek]

Does anyone know if SQ863 (HKG-SIN) is getting the new A380?

The new config have been alway flying SQ221/232 right from the beginning.

Oh really? Oops I didn't know that, thanks for the info!

[sbs2716g]

Does anyone know why SQ 222 and 232 switched? The newer config of A388 was flying SQ221/222 but now has shifted over to SQ232 departing SYD same time as when flying on SQ222. Odd?

V1: https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Si...bus_A380_C.php

V2 (2006 J, all upper deck): https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Si...bus_A380_D.php

V2 (2017): https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Si...A380-800_E.php

Hope this helps.

And yes, both SQ802 and SQ807 utilise V1.

Thank you V much~~!

[SQGamespeed]

Can any gurus tell me what is the difference between V1 and V2 of the 388? Both are 2006J right?

Am taking 802 and returning on 807 so i suppose both are the old 2006 seats?

Thanks all in advance!

looks like the refurbishment n reconfiguration of the new seating of the older 14 A380s will be pushed back as so far none have appeared so far and would go into 2020 before all will be refursbished.
