    An A380 is currently being scrapped in SIN. Tail section already dismantled. I suppose it is 9V-SKI if it is no longer parked near RWY20R. 9V-SKJ was parked at bay E11 some weeks back.

            9V-SKL is now sold for scrap. MSN058 delivered on 16 Jun 2011, 12.7 years old. Currently stored in Alice Springs, Australia.

            "Korean lessor Crianza Group has bought an Airbus A380 (msn 058) from German fund investors that had leased the aircraft to Singapore Airlines in 2011.

            The lease was arranged and extended in 2020 by German company EastMerchant Capital, a partner in Crianza. The aircraft was placed into storage when government travel restrictions aimed at slowing the Covid pandemic grounded the world fleet. The impact of the pandemic and changing market requirements created a difficult secondary market for this aircraft type, according to East Merchant, a partner in Crianza.

            “With the lease end on the horizon and Singapore Airlines seeking to right-size its iconic A380 fleet, we saw an opportunity to structure a solution, where an early termination of the lease and a purchase of the aircraft by Crianza Group would generate a result, providing benefits to all parties involved, lessee, lessor and its financiers,” says Baldur Vander, chief executive of Crianza Aviation, which is part of Crianza Group. The aircraft is to be broken up for sale on the parts market."

              SKN and SKT is Active aircraft. They are not Stored aircraft. SKT is currently in Hangar for Maintenance Check while SKN is AOG due to defect and is awaiting for spare to arrive.

                SKT maintainance have been more than 4 months. Seem like the down time is very long for A380.

                SKP is undergoing refit. Not stored also.

                  Could be due for a major check, or for the wing spar rectification process, which I understand can take some weeks per aircraft depending on what is found.

                    Yes, SKT is undergoing wing spar rectification works + maintenance checks.

                    SKP is undergoing cabin retrofit and is the last one of the 12 to enter to service.
