I think MSN128 will not have its wings repaired before delivery, too short for an August delivery. Though MSN126 should. Fabien  There are three weeks left in July, it could be repaired and still delivered last week of August. If Airbus makes this happen, or even comes close to it, then they should meet their 2013 delivery guidance (25 A380s delivered). |

I still believe that Airbus could do some of the wing work concurrent to other work.

It would be interesting to see if they removed the wing tips are well... (as they did on MSN121...) Fabien  |

Indeed. On the flightline picture of today, you can see the wing tip of MSN128.

My guess is that MSN128 will be the 1st of them delivered in August with no wing repair, and then MSN126 delivered in October with its wings repaired. Fabien |
