Airbus A380 production list

The Airbus A380 production list records the 251 customer aircraft delivered by Airbus and the three flying development aircraft that were not delivered to an airline. Airbus delivered the type to 14 original customers between 2007 and 2021. The final customer aircraft was MSN 272, registered A6-EVS for Emirates.^{[1]A380 programme overviewAirbus · airbus.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details[2]A380 customer list, February 2022Airbus · airbus.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details[3]The A380, Emirates and flying public: a winning combinationAirbus · aircraft.airbus.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details}

Scope and method

The main register uses each aircraft's manufacturer serial number (MSN), registration at delivery and original customer. Those are historical delivery attributes, not a statement of present registration, operator or airworthiness. Aircraft that were subsequently transferred, re-registered, stored, preserved or dismantled retain their delivery identity in this table. Current status should be recorded separately and dated because it can change.^{[4]Airbus A380 production listFlightradar24 · flightradar24.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details}

Airbus's published customer total is the control figure for the register. The row-level data were reconciled against that total: 251 delivered aircraft, comprising 123 for Emirates, 24 for Singapore Airlines, 14 for Lufthansa, 12 each for British Airways and Qantas, 10 each for Air France, Etihad Airways, Korean Air and Qatar Airways, six each for Asiana Airlines, Malaysia Airlines and Thai Airways, five for China Southern Airlines, and three for All Nippon Airways.^{[2]A380 customer list, February 2022Airbus · airbus.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details}

The MSN sequence contains gaps because numbers were reserved for airframes that were cancelled or not completed. Consequently, the final airframe was MSN 272 even though it was the 251st customer delivery. Two structural test articles used for static and fatigue testing were not flying aircraft and are excluded from both the delivery register and the flying-airframe count.

Development aircraft

Five aircraft formed the original flight-test fleet. Three remained Airbus development aircraft and were not included among the 251 customer deliveries. MSN 002 and MSN 004 were later transferred to museums; MSN 001 remained an Airbus test platform. Customer aircraft MSN 007 and MSN 009 also participated in the certification campaign before delivery.^{[5]Airbus prepares for its first megawatt-class hydrogen fuel-cell engineAirbus · airbus.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details[6]Transfer of A380 MSN4 to the Le Bourget aerospace museumAirbus · airbus.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details[7]Airbus A380 MSN 002Musée Aeroscopia · documentation.musee-aeroscopia.fr · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details}

Customer deliveries

The register below uses delivery registrations and original customers. It is based on Airbus's final customer totals and a row-by-row production register, with historical registrations checked where later transfers caused the current identity to differ from the delivery identity.^{[2]A380 customer list, February 2022Airbus · airbus.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details[4]Airbus A380 production listFlightradar24 · flightradar24.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details}

Deliveries by original customer

Variants and engines

All customer aircraft were A380-800s. The certified production designations were the A380-841, A380-842 and A380-861. The -84x aircraft used members of the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 family, while the -861 used the Engine Alliance GP7200 family. EASA certified the A380-841 and -842 on 12 December 2006 and the A380-861 on 14 December 2007.^{[8]Type Certificate Data Sheet EASA.A.110 Airbus A380European Union Aviation Safety Agency · easa.europa.eu · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details}

The engine designation is part of the aircraft variant and should not be inferred from a current operator alone. Engines can be changed within an approved type, while an airframe's MSN remains fixed.

End of production

Airbus announced in February 2019 that A380 deliveries would end in 2021 after Emirates reduced its outstanding order. Airbus said that the revised order left no basis for sustaining production beyond that point.^{[9]Airbus and Emirates reach agreement on A380 fleetAirbus · airbus.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details}

Emirates accepted A6-EVS, MSN 272, on 16 December 2021. It was the airline's 123rd A380 and Airbus's 251st and final customer delivery.^{[3]The A380, Emirates and flying public: a winning combinationAirbus · aircraft.airbus.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details} Airbus's orders-and-deliveries data continued to record 251 gross orders and 251 deliveries in July 2026. Its separate “aircraft in fleet” measure was 196; that measure must not be treated as a count of aircraft actively flying on a particular date.^{[10]Orders and deliveriesAirbus · airbus.com · Accessed 2026-08-29Open source details}

Data-quality notes

• The delivery registration is preserved when an aircraft later receives a different registration. For example, MSN 006 is listed as 9V-SKC, its Singapore Airlines delivery identity, rather than its later registration.

• An original customer is the airline to which Airbus delivered the aircraft. It is not necessarily the present owner, operator or lessor.

• MSN is not a simple sequential production count. Unused allocations explain the gaps in the table.

• Storage, preservation and dismantling are distinct statuses. None is inferred here from an old flight record.

• The three non-delivered flying test aircraft are listed separately and do not alter Airbus's published total of 251 customer deliveries.
