Airbus terminates Skymark order for six A380s

By: DAVID KAMINSKI-MORROWLONDON Source: 4 hours ago
Airbus has informed Japanese carrier Skymark Airlines that its order for six A380s has been terminated.

The airframer says it has taken the action "in accordance with its contractual rights".

Skymark had already disclosed that it was discussing with Airbus a possible cancellation of the 2011 order.

But Airbus says that, "in light of [Skymark's] expressed intentions" in respect of the A380, it has "notified" the airline that the purchase order for the six aircraft "has been terminated".

Airbus adds that it is "reserving all its rights and remedies".

Skymark had said that increased competition and weaker local currency had affected the business climate since the carrier placed the order.

But it had also expressed concern that the carrier would incur a large penalty if the order was cancelled. Skymark's Rolls-Royce Trent 900-powered aircraft are already in production with an initial airframe having flown.

non capisco... airbus cancella un ordine di 6 A380 a Skymark quando li sta' producendo, con addirittura un aereo pronto?
Ho sbagliato a capire io o c'è qualcosa che non quadra? Perché è stato prodotto un aereo e poi cancellato l'ordine degli altri 5 ?

Probabilmente skymark non era piu' in grado di onorare l'ordine.

Costruttore e compagnia vicini ad un accordo; mi piacerebbe sapere quanto dovranno pagare i giapponesi, visto che due macchine erano praticamente già pronte. E Mi piacerebbe sapere cosa ne farà Airbus, immagino le rifilerà a qualche altro cliente: è possibile?

Airbus, Skymark nearing settlement on A380: reports

Airbus and Skymark are reportedly close to reaching a settlement regarding financial penalties over the Japanese carrier's last-minute cancellation of its order for six A380s.

Japanese media reports claim that Skymark’s chief executive Shinichi Nishikubo has met with Airbus representatives and agreed to reach a settlement by the end of October.

Skymark did not reply to queries made by Flightglobal, at the time of publishing.

When contacted, Airbus said: “We don’t comments on our discussions with our customers, including commercial matters. We can say right now on this matter is that Airbus is reserving all its rights and remedies.”

Skymark ordered the A380s in February 2011. Airbus however terminated the order in June, shortly before the first aircraft was due to be delivered, after the airline indicated that it did not have the necessary finance to complete the delivery.

At that time, the first aircraft (MSN162) had already flown while a second A380 had been assembled though its Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines had not been installed.
