There has been two times ever, to have 4 ferry flights within a month (February2010 and November2010), would we see a third time this month? My personal guess, we won't... I think MSN155 might ferry to XFW next week. Fabien

How often have first flights not been ferry flights? Shortage of space at Fink?? JT ( a380.boards.net/post/1131/thread ) 2006: 2 out of 5 FFs were ferry flights (40%) 2007: 1 out of 3 FFs were (33%) 2008: only 1 out of 11 FFs was a ferry flight (9%) 2009: only 2 out of 14 FFs were ferry flights (14%) 2010: 10 out of 21 FFs were (48%) 2011: 6 out of 25 FFs (24%) 2012: 17 out of 25 FFs (68%) 2013: 24 out of 29 FFs were ferry flights... (83%) and so far in 2014, 6 out of 7 FFs were ferry flights (85%)... I think that with the time the production at TLS and FFs reach some maturity to allow FFs to be more efficient thus ferrying directly to XFW... Fabien

JT Emirates MSN147 did return to Toulouse on her first flight too, but that was to have the probe removed on the tail section. As I have been told by a test pilot of Airbus (he ferried MSN148 to Toulouse last week) it is usually decided before the flight whether to continue to Hamburg or not, unless there's an unexpected issue of course.

I believe they would be able to remove the probe in XFW - it could not be the reason.
