Apparently its headed for storage at Tarbes–Lourdes–Pyrénées Airport in France.
Why that airport? Anyone knows?
Close to Toulouse. They gonna remove the engines, so maybe because mechanics are easily available form the Airbus factory which adds to the flexibility if they find a new customer for the bird...
seems quite a tight schedule to retrofit an average of 7 A380s in a year.
Not tight unless there are enough people to work on the retrofit and if they take two craft out of service similar to the 77W. The linked article seems they're only going to start late next year.
Premium economy seats are now available on 60 of SIA's long-haul planes: the Airbus 380, the A-350 and Boeing 777-300ER. Five more B-700ERs will be retrofitted with the new class of seats before the end of next year.
The reconfigured cabin in the superjumbo has 471 seats - six ultra-first class suites, 78 in business class, 44 in the premium economy cabin and 343 economy seats. SIA's current fleet of A-380s has up to 441 seats each, with 36 premium economy seats and 333 economy class seats.

The trend is interesting.
