Qui c'è un'intervista della CNN al CEO della Singapore Airlines, dove si parla soprattutto del ritardo nelle consegne del 380 e delle famose transpac ex-australia.

Tralasciando la pronuncia inglese ke è poco english e molto Singlish... e mettendo da parte i sorrisini e le frasi diplomatiche, direi che ci sarà un nuovo ricatto da parte di SQ per ottenere un risarcimento materiale da Airbus

Luke...

p.s.
la frase finale "io non so come mai gli altri competitors hanno timore di noi" è meravigliosa....

Software used to manage the design and manufacture of the 555-seat A380 at Airbus's Hamburg engineering center isn't fully compatible with that used at company headquarters in Toulouse, France, say current and former Airbus executives, including Charles Champion, who headed the A380 program until September.

European aircraft manufacturer Airbus will deliver six A380 aircraft to Virgin Atlantic in 2013, a four-year delay, the British company said on Thursday.

4 anni di ritardo sono tantissimi in un programma commerciale.
Siamo quasi a livello dei programmi militari!

Virgin Atlantic Airways yesterday reached agreement with Airbus to defer delivery of its six A380s on firm order to 2013. The planes originally were scheduled to arrive in 2009, but Airbus production delays likely would have pushed back delivery. Terms of the deferral were not disclosed. Virgin said it extended leases on several 747-400s to compensate. Airbus said the A380 will have "proven" itself by the time Virgin takes delivery and noted that the deferral will help it "prioritize" deliveries for launch customers.

Virgin è per il 49% di Singapore Airlines. Forse vorranno avere tutte le consegne loro prima di iniziare a darli a Virgin.

diciamo ke in effetti il ritardo è stato giustificato da Airbus con il motivo che vogliono dare priorità ai launch customers.
