I read on theeksource.com that an Emirates A380 A6-EDT positioned to Munich on 19 May, anyone knows what the flight is used for?

Hello Kevin1122, EDT has gone to Dresden to Elbe Flugzeugwerke for the wing fix, to solve the wing crack problems. She was expected in Dresden on Sunday May 19 at 7 am, but due to fog had to divert to Munich. She landed in Dresden at 9.55 am and will be repaired the next 6 to 8 weeks. EFW is to do 8 Emirates A380's.

No, Emirates' Tim Clark said this week on FlightGlobal that they have contracted work to four MRO companies. EFW in Dresden is one of them, I understand one of the others in HEACO in Beijing. According to Clark four aircraft will be repaired simultaneously, but I don't know which other A380's are out of service right now. Anyone else? By the way: I have just joined doubledecker.boards.net as a new member, but have followed you all for a while. Great source of information. I (Richard) also run www.facebook.com/A380fanclubLelystad and a380fanclub on Twitter, sometimes using but always quoting pictures from doubledeckers.

So we can assume that A6-EDQ AND A6-EDT are out for wing repair.
Does anybody know the 2 other frames?
