Airbus has two customers for 20 more A380s
Thursday February 8, 2007

Airbus COO-Customers John Leahy told ATWOnline yesterday that an additional 20 A380s will be sold this year to two customers.

When asked if those customers are new or among the existing 15 (the 16th, FedEx, cancelled its freighter order), Leahy said that "it could be both," adding, "I'm concentrating more on existing customers. Our main problem is that we have not been able to deliver the aircraft on time." He also stated that "everybody wants compensation of different kinds" for the delays.

Separately, Leahy said Airbus is close to finalizing an MOU with Singapore Airlines for approximately 20 A350 XWBs.

The manufacturer plans to deliver one A380 in October to Singapore Airlines, 13 in 2008 and 25 in 2009. In March it will conduct an A380 demonstration tour in the US that will include stops at New York JFK, Washington Dulles, Chicago O'Hare and elsewhere. It has received firm orders for 166 aircraft.
