No reliable information has been provided about MSN2, except that the first buyer had changed his plans and intended to sell the jet.
We don't know whether there is any truth in the rumours of a purchase by the Saudi government (= a bailout of a Prince by his government). So, the aircraft might still be for sale ...
addasih, the aircraft has been sold by Airbus, and the sale is unlikely to be rescinded in my opinion. Yet, the present owner may well put it for sale with a broker's help.

Nothing has been confirmed regarding MSN2. Latest rumor says it's in storage in TLS until a VIP outfit center becomes available in 2015.

I asked ICCJET to indentify the MSN-numbers, but they are only given to those making a serious request... On the LinkedIn-page of the company it says two of the A380's are 'green' and two are Prestige. There is also an A350 for sale... About MSN002: last year I found documents on the net that confirmed the aircraft was bought by the Saudi government. If it has been on sale again is unclear. About ICCJET: it has an office in London and another in Donetsk (Ukraine)...

But MSN2 is allegedly owned by the Saudi Government and awaiting a BBJ style fit out job.... Where do you get the number 4 from, I did not see it on the add. I think its the 3 Skymark frames and a bit of politics to move the 'rescue ANA' bid along...... mention of second hand is a bit confusing though, if it is 4, perhaps its MSN4 as well but they are probably just using stock photos......JT But Airbus order sheet still doesn't show MSN02 as cancelled. And it is neither delivered to anyone, so who ever that my have a contract to buy it, the aircraft still belongs to Airbus

We now had 10 A380s convoyed in sequence:
> MSN 178: convoy 2014 #19 > MSN 179: convoy 2014 #20 > MSN 180: convoy 2014 #21 > MSN 181: convoy 2014 #22 > MSN 182: convoy 2014 #23 > MSN 183: convoy 2014 #24 > MSN 184: convoy 2014 #25 > MSN 186: convoy 2014 #26 > MSN 187: convoy 2014 #27 > MSN 188: convoy 2014 #28
Is this a first?

Your list is little out of phase, Convoy 19 was MSN178EK also MSN185BC wasn't convoyed...

I don't think I could count a real sequence if one is missing (MSN185), even if it has good reasons for not having been convoyed.... To me the record stays at 7, MSN178EK to MSN184EK We'll see what happens now if it can beat 7, all frames from MSN186EK to at least MSN193QR should be delivered in 2015 hence should follow in convoys soon...
