Slash787 & hayzell777 - the ex-Sky a/c have not only had cabin work but also been updated with several modifications which were incorporated into production build after they were built, so I am told. This will make them the same standard as Emirates current deliveries.

No. The composite used on the A380 on the fuselage for the panels is GLARE, glass reinforced aluminium, a fiber metal laminate. The frame including the door frame is aluminium with the locking studs from titanium.

The aircraft however won't enter service until December this year.
