11-01-2008 -  Closing of Second A380 Transaction

Toulouse/London – Doric Asset Finance is pleased to report the closing of its second A380 transaction (MSN005) and subsequent delivery to Singapore Airlines in Toulouse at 11am this morning. The aircraft departed Toulouse shortly thereafter for rapid deployment in SIA’s passenger service, initially assisting MSN 003 on the Singapore-Sidney route. Ultimately the aircraft is planned to be used on the Singapore-London route. Delivery took place slightly ahead of schedule, as Airbus increases momentum on its A380 production line.
