Interesting concept with short term charters for different customers. Might work well in the high season now with all those Trent engine repairs going on. Hifly has it's bird crewed and ready to fly making it available very easy. Bit like call a pizza. Call some A380. We do not know yet, if the next job will be short term too. I at least expect more than single flights. AFAIK for Air Austral the A380 is planned to start flying on the 25th of August and end on the 9th or 10th of September (not sure here, I'll need to double check). Of course this may change, but for now I believe this is the longest operation planned for the A380.

Wiki is wrong. 408 was their former configuration, but has been changed into 386 (or somewhere in the 380ish range) Anyway, apparently next customer is Norwegian on LGW-JFK

Will return from PMI to OSL later today. Then tomorrow at 12:30 CET, it will fly OSL-LGW as DI8992. And then be used by Norwegian on LGW-JFK. At least untill August 13, but maybe untill August 23
Norwegian is selling tickets with a configuration 90 premium economy and 399Y economy. Thus 12 of the premium economy tickets holdere can get the F-suites

As a few airlines intend to wet lease a380 from HiFly maybe would add another a380 from SIA (as a reserve aircraft or when a few airlines wants a380 at the same time).
