Philippe Calavia, said on Wednesday: "Airbus has had problems in respecting its planning. I have problems respecting Airbus' planning as well!

"Air France and Airbus were discussing payment of compensation for the delay, he added.
""We are in the process of negotiating compensation with Airbus. It (the delay) means a big prejudice for us in terms of costs.""
He did not provide figures but referred to "lost opportunities...hangars which will stand empty". By contrast the airline had planned to increase its capacity to carry traffic and to train people."
Sounds like they ain't got the price right yet.

Airbus has had problems in respecting its planning - brilliant

Brilliant marketing ploy. This will give airports another year to finish the complete redesign the 380s will require. It will also give Airbus a chance to complete its "Titanic of the Air" ad campaign for the new jets.

Airbus's A380 might turn out to be the White Elephant that broke the consortium's back

one French company sticking it to another French company. In a few days, one French company will raise the white flag and the dispute is over.

Since they are both state owned, neither the airline nor the airplane maker really cares.

Air France should be willing to pay more for the 380. They are getting more plane than they bargained for. About 6 tons more plane, last I saw.

Airbus's A380 might turn out to be the White Elephant that broke the consortium's back Considering it started as a follow up to the Concorde consortium, I wouldn't hold my breath.
