Generally it seems there's really no secondhand market for the A380s and in this case, its the first of 5 early built A380s which SIA leased which are "different" from the rest as due to the fact the wings have been reworked on and that these 2 aircrafts are much heavier than the rest of the newer A380s. However as can be seen even Malaysian Airlines was unable to sell 6 of its much newer A380s which are only 6 years old and hence they will try to convert 2 or so for the umrah charters. Even Thai tried to sell its 6 A380s a couple of years ago and there were no takers too.
Those later built A380s that SIA owned will be used for quite a lot more years to come.

We therefore expect 9V-SKY and -SKZ to both be delivered in mid July in relatively close succession to allow some short term (mainly cabin) maintenance downtime for the other three aircraft, as all five will then be needed on a relatively consistent schecdule thereafter.
