Re: Airbus terminates purchase order with Skymark for A380s
Anyone a idea how much this could cost Skymark?
This can't be cheap to do, so close to delivery

Re: Airbus terminates purchase order with Skymark for A380s
Skymark has published a press release in Japanese where (if I am correct) they complain about the unacceptable amount of money asked by Airbus to cancel the order. Airbus also suggests that Skymark discusses with a major airline (like Delta?) to be put under their umbrella in order for that airline to pick up the order.
It's going to be a tough negotiation.
