Airbus warns Airlines to Expect More Delays in Delivery of A380 Superjumbos
Tuesday, May 06, 2008
Franco-German aircraft maker Airbus has warned its clients of more
possible delays in deliveries of its A380 superjumbo, Wirtschafts-Wochen
reported.
The company will "nearly" manage to deliver 13 of the aircraft this year
as planned, the German magazine cited unnamed insiders as saying, but it
is unlikely it will manage the 25 planes scheduled for delivery during 2009.
It is also highly questionable whether Airbus will achieve its target of
producing four planes per month.
A spokeswoman for Airbus contacted by AFP declined to comment,
reiterating that the company's CEO Thomas Anders was currently
conducting a review of the A380 programme.
Airbus, a unit of EADS, delivered the first A380 to Singapore Airlines
last October -- 18 months late -- due to production problems.
