Airbus seals contract for 3 A380 jets to Japan鈥檚 ANA
Print Edition
EUROPEAN planemaker Airbus has won a deal to sell three A380 superjumbo jets to Japan’s biggest carrier ANA Holdings Inc in a deal valued at about 150 billion yen (US$1.25 billion), the Nikkei said on Saturday.
The planes are to be introduced in fiscal 2018 on routes to Hawaii and elsewhere, the paper said.
Orders for Airbus A380s have dried up in recent years reflecting a shift in the industry toward smaller, twin-engine planes that cost less to fly than the stately, four-engine jumbos, which can carry as many as 525 passengers.
In November, Boeing Co said it had booked two firm orders for its 747-8 jumbo jet, ending what was shaping up to be a second year without net new purchases of the iconic four-engine plane.
Airbus’s efforts to sell the A380 suffered a setback in 2014 when it canceled a US$2 billion contract with Japanese discount carrier Skymark Airlines Inc for six of the jets after the carrier struggled to raise cash to pay the installments.
On Wednesday, Airbus said it has delayed the delivery of its first A320neo aircraft to the start of 2016, missing a goal to hand over the revamped version of the jet to its initial customer by the end of 2015.
