“We are discussing with them on the compensation and the new delivery date, which was initially thought to be by 2011 or 2012. We can actually deliver to them with just two years’ delay from the original date,” he was quoted saying.
“It’s up to them when they want the aircraft.”
MAS had ordered six Airbus A380 valued at US$1.8 billion at list price with the first delivery to have been in early 2007.
MAS managing director and chief executive officer Idris Jala was quoted saying that MAS would continue with the purchase despite reports that the order would be cancelled due to the long delay.
The actual delivery date would be clear by the middle of next year, he was quoted saying.
