Dubai: Airbus indicated it will bring
forward deliveries of its newest A350 model to first customer Qatar Airways while playing down prospects for an early commitment to upgrading its flagship A380 superjumbo.
The gold price was affected with US reports about unemployment, fall of prices of
forward deliveries.
From the start of the year through June 30, 159 737-800s and 140 A320s have been delivered and with further production increases due over the next couple of years, Airbus and Boeing have rightly continued to dismiss the threat of the CSeries as they deliver more jets to customers pulling
forward deliveries.
American intends to take delivery, in early 2009, of three of the aircraft previously scheduled for delivery in 2016 and the carrier also plans to continue bringing
forward deliveries of the other aircraft from the current delivery schedule of 2013-2016.
