The first airline delivery are to be singapore airlines will delivery on October 2007. Up till now , many companies have acquiring A380 ,such as Thai Airways International A380-800 = 6, China Southern Airlines A380-800 = 5, Emirates Airlines A380-800 = 55 , Etihad Airways A380-800 = 4, Korean Air A380-800F = 5, Virgin Atlantic A380-800 = 6, ILFC A380-800 = 10, Kingfisher Airlines = 5, Singapore Airlines A380-800 =19, Lufthansa A380-800 = 15, Air France A380-800 = 12, Qantas A380-800 = 20,Malaysia Airlines = 6, Qatar = 5, VIP = 1.

         The assembly of the A380 will take place at Aeroapatiale-Matra's facility in Toulouse, interior furnishing and customization will be the responsibility of DASA in Hamburg. Both Aerospatiale and DASA will also produce A380 fuselage sections. BAE Systems will produce the wings , while CASA of spain will provide the horizontal stabilizer. Engine manufacturers are progressing with development programs. Rolls-Royce pursuing its alone,using a Trent delivative and Singapore Airlines chose the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 to power the Jets. Pratt / GE partnership is pushing the development of existing GE90 and PW4000 engines with some upgrades. Current plan is a 110 inches fan Pratt / GE model GP7200 for the A380 producing 67,000-80,000 lbs.of thrust and bypass ratio is 8:1 , to match the A380 program schedule (B747X will use GP 7100 which has 101 inches fan and bypass ratio is 7:1 ). The price of this aircraft is approximately 220 million US dollars.
    Hydraulic system of A380 will have a 5000 psi capability instead of 3000 psi . This increased the power which is necessary to handle the A380 flying controls and will reduce the components size. This will lower the weight of the aircraft by around one tonne.
           Airbus has recently announced several suppliers to the A380 program as follows:
    Parker Hannifin Corp.'s Electronic Systems Division has been selected to provide the fuel-measurement and management systems .
    TRW / Thales joint venture has been selected for the development and supply of variable-frequency electrical power systems.
    Goodrich Corp. has been selected to supply the evacuation systems and the main landing gear.
    Rolls-Royce has been selected to supply the fuel delivery system for its Trent 900 engine.
         The Cockpit will has 8 of 7.25x9.25 in. LCD screens to allow more data to be displayed. There are 2 primary flight displays, 2 navigation displays, 1 engine parameter display, 1 system display and 2 mulfunction displays.
        The Airbus A380 takes off from Toulouse, France, for its maiden flight on 27 april 2005
        The Airbus A380 received certification from European and U.S. aviation authorities on 12 December 2006
