Airbus aims to double A380 production in 2010

Fabrice Breguier, Chief operating officer of Airbus, has said the aircraft maker aims to double output of its new A380 superjumbo in 2010, AFP has reported. The company's industrial capacity should allow it to complete four of the aircraft per month, he told the French business daily Les Echos. 'Our objective is to deliver 20 A380s this year, attaining a stable rate of two planes per month in the second half of the year,' he added. In 2008 Airbus delivered 12 of the superjumbos.
