The planemaker will hand over 19 of its double-decker passenger jets in 2010, short of the targeted 20, spokesman Stefan Schaffrath said today. Toulouse, France-based Airbus plans to deliver its 18th A380 as early as tomorrow, to Qantas Airways Ltd., and will meet the year-end deadline on only one of two other jets.
Airbus is working to resolve “disruptions and complications” to its A380 production line following the explosion of a Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine on an A380 operated by Qantas last month, Airbus Chief Executive Officer Tom Enders told employees in a memo last month.
