Unusually, however, these two jets won’t be relocated overseas for storage, but will be scrapped here in Singapore instead.
9V-SKG and 9V-SKH, the 19th and 21st Airbus A380s built (out of 251 for 14 different airlines worldwide), have been relocated to the Changi Exhibition Centre, adjacent to the airport, the usual site of the Singapore Airshow.
