Airbus is using the following terms
CFF: For Cabin First Flight
CAF: For Customer Acceptance Flight
I don't think this was Cabin Certification flight since the Cabin was certified long time ago for KE frames

Okay, I love all the C's and F's  But: if this was a CFF (just to be sure: Cabin First Flight) why would it fly straight to TLS. Wouldn't repairs have to be done in XFW in case of a (serious) malfunction? |

MSN128 back in TLS  Korean Air - A380-861 - 128 by mba340, on Flickr Usually CFFs are done from and to XFW, just several frames are doing both in the same time, CFF and transfer to TLS. FAbien  |

Correct, I remember the previous Korean Air A380 (delivered last year) also having its CFF directly to TLS.

I assume that there was no serious malfunction and no need to go back. OK, clear. It would also seem that Airbus will be very happy shipping aircraft out from XFW as soon as possible, clearing the bottleneck that outfitting has been until now in the production process. |

I think it is also distributing wing repair to available hangars. |

I think MSN128 will not have its wings repaired before delivery, too short for an August delivery. Though MSN126 should. Fabien |
