For info: Virgin Atlantic has delayed their first A380 delivery till 2008...

Haven't seen a press release yet, but it's (following airliners.net) in the VS intranet apparently...

I've read in the Holland Herald (KLM's inflight magazine) that Air France will get an A380 too in 2006. Where can I find more info?

Flying Dutchman: a great source is http://www.aerotransport.org

Unfortunately it's a paying site, but a fantastic place. You find all info over there: c/n's, registrations, census lists etc etc

Following the current schedule, the mfd of the first frame for AF will be 04/2007 c/n17.
