Emirates' second A380 is now further delayed and given that Airbus cannot verify how many aircraft it will actually deliver this year to anyone (first 25, then 13, then 12, now probably 10 or 11 according to those in the know who
don't work for Airbus), there is little expectation in the real world that future Emirates aircraft will not be additionally late.
But then, Airbus doesn't care, does it?
