空巴對印度翠鳥航空的A380訂單仍滿懷期待 Kingfisher 的A380 order 已無限期延後, 空巴說, 每個在Asia-Pacific 都有A380, 想要在亞太地區競爭, United 就必須買a380. 這句話裡面的United 換成China Airlines 好像也可以嘛! 不過私以為翠鳥的A380 delivery slot 應該被香港航空拿去了吧. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://in.reuters.com/article/2011/11/30/airbus-leahy-idINDEE7AT0LQ20111130 Airbus has "high hopes" for struggling Kingfisher "There are only two operators of the (Boeing) 747 in the U.S.: United Airlines and Northwest-Delta. And yes, those guys are in my sights, particularly United Airlines," Leahy said. "Everyone in Asia-Pacific has A380s now... If you want to compete in Asia-Pacific, at some point in time United is going to have to get on board with the A380." Airbus and Boeing are battling over a potential order from United for 150-seat jets which people familiar with the talks have said could lead to a deal for as many as 180 planes. Leahy suggested a decision was more likely early next year than late this year but referred questions to the airline. "If they want to sign tomorrow, I'm ready," he said. Asked about recent financial difficulties at Airbus customer Kingfisher Airlines, Leahy said the Indian airline was on an improved path. "Kingfisher is one of our good customers. I have the highest regard for Vijay (Mallya, the airline's chairman). He has had some issues with the airline. He's bringing in a new management team now which I think is very important. He needs to keep his airplanes flying," Leahy said. "I think he now understands that he has to drop some money losing routes and concentrate on the money making routes. You can't be all things to all people. We have high hopes that he'll get things sorted out. He needs to be more focused and he's now doing that." Cash-strapped Kingfisher, controlled by liquor entrepreneur Vijay Mallya, has struggled to raise funds and cancelled hundreds of flights in November. It delayed A380 orders indefinitely and industry sources said it was set to cancel two remaining orders for the A340, a four-engined aircraft that Airbus has meanwhile decided to stop making. "There are no orders that are at risk in the production cycle. There are orders several years out that are not in the production cycle," Leahy said without elaborating. Kingfisher has orders for five A350-800s, a variant of the future mid-sized A350 that Airbus has not yet started producing. Kingfisher, India's third largest airine by market share, said last week U.S.-listed Dutch lessor AerCap Holdings NV would take back two of its aircraft in coming months as the two sides could not agree on extension terms.
