So this will be the very final A380 to be delivered then? The livery makes it unique and perfect for some big farewell. So it is scheduled for october 2021 delivery with the latest slip?
How about Paris Air Show 2021 instead? Hopefully the time when aviation life after corona will slowly move back to normal?

Bringing Ka La to PAS21 is a brilliant idea!

Bringing Ka La to PAS21 is a brilliant idea! Why? The airshow is about new sales, not to get a sort of nostalgic feeling, specially not in the current market. Seems to me Airbus will prefer to place an A330neo, A350XWB and/or A321LR is the same space and hope to sell a few.

Because it might be the final delivery and the end of an era. And you won't see this aircraft in europe very often after entry into service.

I've got this gut-feeling Airbus will not put an aircraft (any aircraft) at an airshow just to please a bunch of aviation-geeks. They probably think: If you want to see Ka La just make it to Toulouse in time or go to Japan or Hawaii

They never missed a chance to present their products on the center stage to please their customers. ANA could make use of a bit of a show to prevent the impression it had ordered some leftover or outdated type of product. They'd welcome the bang, the media limelight and public admiration for sure. The full VIP-treatment. And it looks very presentable.
