Airbus "Reviewing" Ramp Up in A380 Deliveries

Airbus CEO Tom Enders said Airbus is reviewing its delivery targets for the A380 and they might make it happen -- raising those pesky possibilities of further delays. Airbus' targets called for 13 deliveries of the world's biggest passenger aircraft in 2008 and 25 in 2009.

The bad thing for Airbus is that it builds aircraft that are primarily with European products purchased with the Euro and a large portion of their aircraft are purchased with US Dollars, which puts it at a disadvantage to its US rival Boeing.

We will see if Airbus makes it all happen. Oh yeah, and for those of you who haven't heard, there will be hot showers available for some wealthy first-class passengers aboard Emirates A380s.
