Airbus expects current A380 customers to bolster their order backlog for the aircraft type this year after the aircraft maker upped its order intake target for 2010 from 10 aircraft to 20 or more.

“I expect repeat orders from existing customers,” says Airbus CEO Tom Enders, while not ruling out new customers coming on board. Enders spoke on the sidelines of the first A380 delivery to Lufthansa. Lufthansa is the only new airline to start using the aircraft this year; Korean Air, the next customer, is to follow in May 2010.

A380 order discussions have picked up markedly, says an Airbus official. Delivery slots are limited in the immediate future, however. One or two delivery slots may be available in 2013, although Airbus says 2014 is really the first year meaningful numbers could be delivered that aren’t already committed to customers.

The focus for Airbus right now is on stabilizing output at two aircraft per month, before gradually ramping up to three units. While Airbus isn’t ruling out going to four aircraft per month, as once planned, there are no immediate plans to reach that level. Enders reaffirms that the stretch A380-900 and the freighter version are not priority projects for the near term.

EADS Chief Financial Officer Hans-Peter Ring indicated recently that the A380 could reach break even in around five years. But Airbus officials suggest they are more cautious. Nevertheless, Enders notes that “in the not too distant future we will make good margins” on the program.

Production problems that had hobbled the program are starting to disappear. The amount of outstanding work is far lower than it once was, although he notes it will never be fully eliminated.

To help address bottlenecks on Lufthansa’s first two A380s, Airbus turned to Lufthansa Technik to draft workers to help expedite cabin completion. Enders says 30-40 employees were seconded to Airbus and spent around 24,000 hours to make sure the first A380 could be delivered on May 19.

Neither the freighter nor the -900 variant of the Airbus A380 are
likely to be revived in the near term, because the airframer wants to
reduce its risk exposure to new projects.Speaking after the
delivery of Lufthansa's first A380 at Hamburg, Airbus chief executive
Tom Enders described both variants as being "on the back-burner"."We
have to be realistic about what we can do with a given set of
resources," he says. The company wants to achieve "cruise mode" on its
A380 programme by stabilising production and focus on its A350
development.Enders says the cargo market has been showing
evidence of recovery, following a severe drop in traffic. But he points
out that Airbus, with its A330-200F, has "a great new freighter" to
offer the market.http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2010/05/20/342239/a380-900-and-freighter-both-on-back-burner-enders.html

LAX se met à jour pour permettre aux A380, qui arrivent de plus en plus nombreux, de circuler sans interrompre d'autres mouvements !
Les bretelles de circulation, trop proches des pistes, handicapaient les mouvements quand un A380 les empruntait ...
C'est réglé, semble t-il!
Très bien !

A one million-plus pound QANTAS Airbus A380 super jumbo jet will be the first aircraft to travel on the just-completed $88-million, 3,437-foot-long Crossfield Taxiway (new Taxiway R), a portion of the Crossfield Taxiway Project, at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). When it arrives it will be greeted by a water cannon salute by two fire trucks.

The completion of Taxiway R, which came in on schedule and within budget, connects LAX's north and south airfields, improves the safety and efficiency of aircraft ground movements, and alleviates the periodic congestion that occurred on the airfield. Taxiway R is the first FAA Group 6 taxiway at LAX to accommodate new large aircraft.
