So realistically speaking, EIS is in 2015 then, no? Or will they have other short haul passenger flights like ANA did initially?  EIS will start with the training flights later this month. |

EIS will start with the training flights later this month. I always thought Entry into Service referred to the first scheduled passenger service. Did SQ do any training flights before the A380's inaugural flight and if so, what is considered as the official EIS date for the A380? |

That's my definition of EIS as well Did SQ do any training flights before the A380's inaugural flight and if so, what is considered as the official EIS date for the A380? If I remember correctly they did a few flights to Kuala Lumpur although I think these did not carry passengers (I'm not too sure about this second point) |

(indeed no passengers on the KUL training flights)  SIA directly operated MSN003 on SIN-SYD. About MSN006 would the training flights be with passengers in the Doha's region maybe?.. |

They will need 2 aircraft as QR69/70 departs Doha at 0205 and arrives at 1840 and QR 67/68 departs at 0740 and arrives at 2325 |

MSN7 was loaded into FAL 1 month after MSN6, therefore delivery should happen about 1 month after MSN6 (around mid-January).
