    EUROPEAN aircraft maker Airbus believes that the United States will be the biggest customer for its A400M military transport plane, despite a fatal crash involving one of them during a test flight last month.

    "By the next decade at the latest, the US armed forces will be the biggest customer for the aircraft," Airbus chief executive Tom Enders told the weekly magazine WirtschaftsWoche in an interview.
