Apologies Philidor, I couldn't see the BA thread at the time.
Still confused though: the article states:
The carrier has also brought forward an A380 delivery from the first quarter of 2016 to the fourth quarter of 2015, by which point it will have 10 of the type with two outstanding. So apparently not 2016. (I will also post this in the 2015 deliveries since the same is being referred to there).

fanairbus The 3 last MSN192 MSN194 MSN215 were already planned for 2016 and it doesn't mention here the postpone of any frame...

I don't see where all this confusion comes from. As can be seen in many recent "Convoy-threads" msn192 was a -> "British Airways #10 (MSN192) expected delivery 2015or2016??.." <- delivery. It has now turned into a definite 2015 delivery. That's all!!

The change is: delivery of one of three BA A380 planned for 2016 is moved forward to 4Q of 2015. That means both MSN173 BA#9 and MSN192 BA#10 will be delivered in 2015 and MSN194 BA#11 and MSN215 BA#12 will be delivered in 2016.

That would mean both MSN 192 and 194 would be convoyed end of this year or early next year.

Great to see Ba taking them early. Is it because of production slot availability, or because they are pleased with the frames performance? I guess a combination of both reasons?

That would also make sense with 2 more A380 to serve the double-daily to MIA (25/10), though I don't understand why earlier reports would have stated just one of the two being brought forward?... MSN192BA10 and MSN194BA11 would then likely be like MSN161BA7 and MSN163BA8 this year, delivery around Sep/Oct 2015

It just pleases me me to see Ba keen to take them early! They must be making "plenty dollar", or they wouldn't be remotely interested in early deliveries! Good to see the lady showing her potential.

Not the first time CAPA is having it wrong. Here's the data straight from the horse's mouth:
