Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted September 19, 2008 Qantas Receives First A380, May Buy More September 19, 2008 Australia's Qantas took delivery of its first A380 superjumbo on Friday and said it was in talks with Airbus to buy more. Qantas took delivery of the first of 20 double-decker planes it has ordered some two years later than scheduled following problems in assembling the world's largest airliner. Airbus denied reports its target of 12 A380 deliveries in 2008 was threatened by new delays and chief executive Tom Enders said he was "ready to bet a magnum of champagne that we will deliver more than 11". "I confirmed our target two days ago and I confirm it again today," Enders said. The Qantas plane is the seventh A380 to be delivered this year and the eighth since the first plane rolled off the assembly line at the end of 2007. Airbus plans to deliver another five this year including two more to Qantas. Qantas chief executive Geoff Dixon said the airline had started discussions with Airbus about adding to the 20 A380s it has ordered and was also in talks about buying its mid-sized A350. The A350 lost out to Boeing for that size of plane two years ago when Qantas opted for 65 787s, becoming the biggest customer for the larger of two variants. Qantas is the third airline to take delivery of the A380 after Singapore Airlines and Emirates. It will enter service from Melbourne to Los Angeles on September 20 and fly the Sydney-Los Angeles route on September 24. Qantas indicated bookings at the main airline and low-cost Jetstar unit were surprisingly resilient given the growing financial turmoil. It said it had experienced no problems so far with debt funding due to the credit squeeze. "In the last four weeks we have had very buoyant intakes from Qantas and Jetstar in all classes," Dixon said. (Reuters) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken M. 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2008 I watched the Airbus/Qantas handover ceremony online last night. Nice lightshow and image projection onto the new aircraft. VH-OQA looks stunning in full QF colours. The interior cabin shots displayed on the Airbus/Qantas handover website look a lot nicer than the ones which caused the outrage when leaked some months ago. The red and black seating in Econony looks much nicer than that ghastly green leaked earlier. CEO Geoff Dixon thinks the QF A380 has the nicest interior of all A380 aircraft flying so far and I tend to agree with him having seen photos/video from SQ and EK. I didn't like the EK interior shots at all. Think the A380 will look just as stunning in MH livery. So come on MH go top QF in 2011. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
