Given the A380s EIS slippage of 18 months now - or possibly more
- I am still not entirely convinced that mere ~ w i r i n g ~ issues are at fault here.
Airbus' somewhat secretive nature will keep us all guessing. Time will tell.
Meanwhule there's also good news for EADS:
Lufthansa will accept a few A330s (5) for an interim solution while they await delivery of the big bus. The airline has also ordered 30 of the narrow body A320 series for a combined total at list prices of a little over 3 billion US for a vote of great confidence from Europe's No 2 airline.
