Going to Be Very Hard for Airbus to Make 20 A380 Deliveries in 2010

[Oliver Gigacz]

Airbus is going to face another year of very low A380 deliveries. The production in Toulouse (Final Assembly) is speeding up dramaticly while over in Hamburg (Outfitting and Painting) it is staying very much the same. By April Airbus will have five A380s completed and ready for Outfitting but no slots in Hamburg to put them. This could easily mean that Airbus will only delivery between 15-18 A380s this year (If that).

3 words , Quality not Qantity:) , no point in rushing out new deliveries only to have them return with tech probs.

I agree. But it is not just Airbus's fault. The seat suppliers are also holding up the work.

Agree. Not much news about A380 recently.
