Airbus ‘Intensively’ Addressing ‘Problems’ With Emirates’ A380s - by Tony Czuczka

Airbus SAS, the world’s largest maker of commercial aircraft, said it is working “intensively” to resolve “problems” with A380 jets owned by Dubai’s Emirates airline. A delegation from Emirates, the biggest A380 customer, cited a series of defects with the plane when it visited European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co. in Toulouse, France, last month, Der Spiegel reported today in a preview of an article in its latest edition.

Der Spiegel said on its website on the weekend that Emirates gave a 46-page presentation in Toulouse, telling Airbus officials about heat-damaged power cables, defective engines and numerous malfunctions. The planes have lost 500 hours of flying time due to grounding to deal with problems, Der Spiegel said.
