The plane based on this post (9M-MNF)

Malaysia Airlines originally ordered the a380 in the early 2000s to replace their 747s. The plane was famously named "dugong" Which is a marine mammal placed in southern Asia .The plane was meant for long haul flight to airport such as Heathrow and Paris de Gaulle as well as high demand destination like Hongkong. Malaysia airlines intended to operate the a380s until the 2030s but it's life was cut short in 2020 after the pandemic hit. In 2021, Malaysia airlines announced that they will retire the A380 after only 9 years due to high cost, low demands, and the impact of 2020 and low profits. All 6 of the Malaysia airlines A380 were returned to Airbus and was stored in France in Toulouse Tarbes Airport in 2022 in exchange for 20 A330-900Neo from Airbus. Today, 5 of the a380 is stored all across Europe with one waiting to be scrapped and the 6th one being planned to be a testbed for Airbus.
