AFP: Airbus delays Malaysia Airlines' first A380 again

Airbus has delayed delivery of Malaysia Airlines' first A380 for the second time, Agence France Presse reported Friday.

Airbus already had delayed delivery of the first of the carrier's six ordered A380s from July 2007 to late 2011. Now, Airbus has pushed first delivery to the first half of 2012, Malaysia Airlines Managing Director and Chief Executive Azmil Zahruddin said in a statement reported by AFP.

A Singapore-based Airbus spokesman confirmed the delay to AFP, but said the new schedule wasn't finalized and declined to give a reason for it or say whether it would affect other deliveries.

Meanwhile, Boeing 787 Dreamliner launch customer All Nippon Airways is taking a second look at the A380, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday, quoting Hitoshi Kawahara, ANA's director of international and regulatory affairs.

While ANA hasn't ordered the A380, it has renewed interest because of positive passenger reaction to the jet and competition from A380 operators such as Singapore Airlines, which may soon be able to fly passengers between Japan and the United States, Kawahara told The Journal.

Airbus aims for 20-plus A380 deliveries in 2010
By David Kaminski-Morrow

Airbus is aiming to deliver at least 20 A380 aircraft this year, the airframer believing that it is making good progress on smoothing the production process.

Speaking during a briefing at the company's UK manufacturing plant at Broughton, executive vice-president of programmes Tom Williams said production was "rapidly maturing".

Out-of-sequence work on the final assembly lines is "decreasing constantly", he adds - citing a seven-fold reduction since early 2007 - and the focus has turned to stabilisation.

Between the beginning of 2009 and last November, Airbus halved the amount of outstanding work at A380 final assembly.

The airframer also reduced the backlog of production drawings by 80% and the time to resolve queries by 40%.

Williams says production is "moving in the right direction" and Airbus is looking to deliver "20 or over 20" of the type this year.

Airbus is planning to take production to three aircraft per month, he adds, although a rate increase beyond this is "not the most pressing issue".
