Alif A. F. 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2007 PARIS (Reuters) - European planemaker Airbus, which has been hit by major project delays, said on Saturday it had fixed problems surrounding the cables of its A380 superjumbo. "We have finished the electrical installation," said Airbus spokesman Tore Prang, confirming an earlier report in German magazine Focus. "We have handed the aircraft to the cabin equipment team to install the first A380," he added. Production problems at Airbus have caused a slump in the financial fortunes of its parent company EADS, which this week issued its third profit warning in less than a year. Prang said resolving the issue of incorrectly installed cables meant Airbus was on track to deliver the plane to Singapore Airlines. "This means we have passed a major milestone for the A380 recovery programme," he said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
