SINGAPORE, May 13 (Reuters) - Singapore Airlines (SIAL.SI) said on Tuesday that it expects to receive its fifth A380 superjumbo by early July and sees some impact on subsequent deliveries after Airbus (EAD.PA) announced further delays.

"The changes in production schedules will potentially have some impact, the details of which we will need to understand from Airbus," Singapore Air spokesman Stephen Forshaw said in an email.

Singapore Air has ordered a 19 of the A380 with options for six more. (Reporting by Daryl Loo; Editing by Jan Dahinten)
