Airbus CEO: A380 market remains weak | ATWOnline

The A380 program is on track to breakeven
in 2015, Airbus CEO Fabrice Brégier told
ATW on the sidelines of the results
conference in Toulouse. However, he said
the market remains weak for the aircraft.
"We are confident [we will] get additional
customers, because year-on-year we have
met our targets," he said.
Brégier said the A380 has a "huge market
and a long-term outlook, but the market
right now for this aircraft is too soft." He
said the economic crisis, combined with the
aircraft's price tag, have made customers
more cautious. "We got nine new [A380]
orders last year; Boeing got just one
[747-8I]. We are not proud with nine
orders, but the [weak] market is a reality."
