Airbus euphoria over finally delivering its A380 superjumbo was dampened Wednesday by news the European planemaker's new A400M military transport plane will be delayed by at least six months. Delivery of the first A400Ms to the French airforce will be moved back because of problems with its engines until early 2010, with an "additional risk of further slippage of six months," said EADS, the Airbus parent company.
Airbus' delight over finally delivering its first A380 took a knock when EADS confirmed rumours that the A400M, another of its key projects, would also face delays.
