Airbus is likely to compensate Malaysia Airlines (MAS) as it failed to deliver Airbus A380 as scheduled. Airbus Chief Operating Officer John Leahy had said that MAS will be compensated for the delay, according to Malaysia's national news services Bernama on Wednesday. Airbus was still in talks with the Malaysian national carrier for the delay in delivery of the A380 superjumbo aircraft, Airbus spokesman Anthony Phillip told a media briefing here on Wednesday. But he declined to further comment, according to Bernama. MAS ordered six Airbus A380 jumbos with 1.8 billion U.S. dollars in 2003 with the first delivery scheduled in early 2007. However, under a revised schedule, MAS will receive the first A380 aircraft in late 2009, Bernama said. Airbus reportedly was in talks with MAS after it sorted out the delay issue with Singapore Airlines, Qantas and Korean Air. |
