Tomorrow (24th of May) Airbus will deliver Korean Air's first A380-800 at a ceremony in Toulouse starting at 13:00 UTC.
The aircraft, HL-7611, will be in a very low density configuration with only 407 seats (12F, 94C and 301Y) featuring Korean Air's new cabin products. See the seat map below:

What is also positive about this delivery is the fact that Korean Air will receive their next A 380s relatively fast:
MSN 039, KE # 2 and future - HL-8226 arrived in XFW on January 17th 2011, almost exactly 2 months after MSN 035
MSN 059, KE # 3 and future HL-7613 arrived in XFW on February 16th 2011
MSN 068, KE # 4 and future HL-7614 arrived in XFW on March 17th 2011
So almost every month one A 380 for KE.
MSN 075 and KE # 5 made its first flight on May 16th 2011 and will arrive in XFW soon as well.

That A380 sure looks gorgeous. It looking all shiny and stuff makes it look like a big lolly.
It will be interesting to see what kind of a show KE put on to celebrate the arrival of this giant. When you look at the celebration SQ and QF put on KE have a lot to live up to.
and with that..cabin crew, seats for landing please.

Quoting OA260 (Reply 8): Indeed its great to see Korean get theirs and looks great in their livery. Cant wait to see more photos especially interior ones.
I had a look at that a bit earlier... Interior looks fresh and great.. Economy seats look like nothing out of the ordinary apart from the better pitch... Love the in flight shop though. Will give passengers an excuse to get up and move around more, which on long haul flights is always good.
