There is another issue to be considered, in addition to compensation, that of inflation. Airbus has fixed price contracts for the A380 in place. By delaying production and delivery, labor costs will probably be higher each year due to labor contracts. Also, I do not know what the suppliers (e.g., e...

I have been told that Noël Forgeard is still currently employed by Airbus as a consultant, perhaps someone could confirm this. If this is true it would make this whole exercise with Management changes trite. It was announced when he resigned in June, quite an old story... Don't read too many articl...

The delay has now been stretched out to 2 years. It defies common sense that this all because they can't string a wiring harness. There has to more more serious problems that Airbus is not being upfront and honest about. They have what, 4 planes built and flying, but none can be delivered because o...

And let's don't forget the social cost for EADS workers will be high, too. EADS plan to cut the production costs, which means first reducing the work force. No hard lay-off (hopefully) for the moment but, as usual : forced early retirement, no more interim workers, fixed-term contracts not renewed,...

Re: Chief A380-program has to go
Charles Champion, head of the A380-programme untill yesterday, is replaced by Mario Heinen, former A320-programmeleader. It seems Charles Champion is held responsible for the delays for the A380. You should have read the end of the article Charles Champion (51) hands over the A380 programme to Mari...

this will be the moment of truth for the A380 project. Will Boeing be right that the hub strategy is the past and that the point to point strategy is the future? If Lufthansa buys A380's in the same numbers as Emirates, BA will have to follow , and AF+KLM. In that case, we might see a decrease of t...

Great impressive pistures indeed! I am amazed that all these A380s are painted in Airbus colours, none of them in a client's colours. Aren't most of them destined to customers? One stays for tests at Airbus (msn 001) The three others are for Etihad (the one with EA engines will have an engine chang...
