Auguri anche a teIntanto auguri a tutti!
Per quanto riguarda le consegne come ho spesso ricordato non è Airbus ad avere la facoltà di diffusione pubblica delle date. Spetta a ciascuna compagnia annunciare quando i loro velivoli entreranno in servizio. Per ora posso solo non smentire ciò che trovate nella stampa.

La domanda per l'A380 resiste nonostante i problemi tecnici
Vi posto quest'articolo apparso su Bloomberg news.
Ci tengo a precisare che (ma potrei parlarne per ore) la cosiddetta "Operational Reliability" ovvero il tasso di regolarita' dei voli (calcolato sulla base di ritardi/cancellazioni dovuti a problemi tecnici dell'aereo) dell'A380 dall'inizio delle operazioni e' SUPERIORE a quella avuta dal 747-400 circa vent'anni fa nello stesso arco di tempo. Dato ancor piu' interessante se si compara il campione su cui si basa il calcolo: dopo circa 2 anni dall'entrata in servizio c'erano ben piu' 744 di A380 oggi e non solo: il 747-400 era cmq un derivato di un progetto che all'epoca aveva gia' 20 anni di esperienza alle spalle, il 380 e' quello che si dice un "clean sheet", ovvero un progetto completamente nuovo.
Nonostante cio', com'e' ovvio, sulla stampa appaiono di piu' i problemi che i numeri positivi. Ma questo articolo riassume il concetto che comunque sia l'aereo si dimostra eccellente da un punto di vista operativo e commerciale.
Ho sottolineato i punti che ritengo piu' interessanti.
Qantas A380 Ticket Demand Withstands Glitches, 24-Hour Delay
2010-01-14 13:02:22.454 GMT
By Robert Fenner
Jan. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Qantas Airways Ltd., Australia’s biggest airline, said technical glitches with its fleet of Airbus SAS A380s have failed to dent demand for seats on the world’s biggest commercial aircraft.
“They are really good machines and the public love them,”
Lyell Strambi, 51, group executive of operations at Sydney-based Qantas, said in a telephone interview. The carrier is getting more demand for A380 seats, he said.
Qantas, one of only four airlines flying the superjumbo, said “teething problems” for a new plane aren’t unusual, with the A380 comparing favorably to the introduction of the Boeing Co. 747-400 about two decades ago. Last week, a Melbourne to Los Angeles flight was delayed 24 hours because of a faulty fuel indicator, leaving passengers stranded on board for five hours before they could disembark.
“When it works, it’s got a lot more that works,” said Peter Harbison, executive chairman at Sydney-based industry consultant Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation. “It’s a one of a kind and really the number of glitches are relatively small,”
said Harbison, who has flown on at least three A380s.
Qantas is deploying its six A380s on long-haul routes, such as Australia to Europe or North America. With many of those services landing at the world’s busiest airports, delays in taking off may mean they lose their designated arrival slot.
None of the problems experienced so far have jeopardized safety on its flights, Strambi said. Qantas has never had a fatal jet accident in its 89-year history.
Emirates, Singapore Air
Qantas isn’t alone in experiencing faults with the A380.
Last month, a Singapore Airlines Ltd. jet returned to Paris after two hours in the air following a cut in the power supply to on-board kitchen facilities. Air France endured two malfunctions on its only A380 within the space of a fortnight.
This month, Emirates, the A380’s biggest customer, delayed by several hours a South Korea to Dubai flight after fuel system glitches.
Any cancelled service means airlines have to put customers up in hotels or shuttle them home for another flight. Airbus pays for modifications that are needed under warranty.
Problems with the A380 get more publicity because passengers are actively seeking to book flights on them, Strambi said. The double-decker plane includes luxuries such as private cabins in first class that are a magnet for premium travelers.
Boeing 747
‘It’s something I admit is a disappointment and we need to improve,” Airbus Chief Executive Officer Tom Enders told a briefing in Seville, Spain earlier this week. When the plane entered service in October 2007, it was two years late and $6 billion over its original $12 billion budget.
Still, disruptions to the first A380 services aren’t as bad as for the Boeing 747-400, said Hans Weber, president of Tecop International, a San Diego-based aerospace consulting company.
The dispatch reliability of the A380 is about 97.5 percent now while that for 747-400 when it was introduced was below 90 percent, he said.
The Boeing 747-400 had its first flight in 1988 and it entered service in 1989 with Northwest Airlines Inc., as what was then the world’s largest passenger aircraft.
“Today it’s touted as a wonderful plane, but oh, it took a couple of years,” Weber said.
Promise
Airbus is marketing the A380 as a means to link global hubs with a plane that typically seats 525 and can accommodate more than 800 people, with fuel savings of as much as 20 percent over smaller models. Chicago-based Boeing has chosen a different strategy with its 787 Dreamliner, betting airlines will want more flexibility connecting smaller airports around the world.
Airbus has won 200 orders for the aircraft, and aims to deliver about 20 jets to airlines this year, including new clients such as Deutsche Lufthansa AG.
The A380 has an average list price of $327.4 million each although Qantas negotiates its own price with manufacturers, the company said. Carriers that choose to be among the first buyers typically get larger discounts to make up for early defects.
Qantas ordered 20 A380s and holds options to buy four more.
The airline received two planes last year, with another taken earlier this month as customer bookings soar.

Emirates Airline takes delivery of Airbus’ 6,000th aircraft
Emirates Airline and Airbus have marked a major achievement, by celebrating the hand-over of the 6,000th aircraft in the airframe manufacturer’s 40 year history. The aircraft, an A380, was handed over to Emirates Airline in a ceremony in Hamburg. The aircraft is Emirates’ eighth A380.
Accepting delivery of the new aircraft, Adel Al Redha, Executive Vice President, Emirates' Engineering and Operations, said: “The A380 represents the future of air travel and our strength and determination to drive forward, alongside Airbus, to meet our ambitious expansion plans and traffic demand. If a powerful demonstration of the resilience of the aviation industry was required, today has provided that. All who have flown the A380 will realise that this is a very special aircraft, embracing the latest in passenger comfort, technology and environmental credentials.”
“Today’s delivery is our 25th A380 so far, and more importantly, the 6,000th Airbus produced in our 40 year history. It is particularly significant that it is both an A380 and for Emirates, as they were involved in its development from early on. We are proud to have the words ‘Airbus 6,000th Aircraft’ inscribed alongside the Emirates livery,” said Tom Enders, Airbus CEO.
With a total order for 58 aircraft, Emirates is the single largest customer for the A380. Established in 1985, Emirates became an Airbus operator from the outset. Today, Emirates’ Airbus fleet has grown to 55 aircraft with a further 121 on order.
Airbus was formed in 1969, and by 2005 had reached more than 50 per cent of worldwide deliveries in a single year, of all aircraft of more than 100 seats. It also took Airbus some 30 years after its initial creation to bypass its main competitor in terms of sales and remain at around half the market share.
Note to editors:
Airbus delivered its first customer aircraft in May 1974 – an A300B2
The 1,000th aircraft was delivered in March 1993 – an A340-300
The 2,000th was delivered in May 1999 – an A340-300
The 3,000th was delivered in July 2002 – an A320
The 4,000th was delivered in September 2005 – an A330-300
The 5,000th was delivered in December 2007 – an A330-200

Trovo strano che EK non abbia previsto l'attivazione entro giugno di almeno una destinazione sudafricana col 380 visto che ne serve ben 3 (JNB, CPT, DUR) in quel periodo i voli saranno belli pieni e anche a livello di campagna pubblicitaria visto che EK è la compagnia ufficiale di SudAfrica2010
