Airbus will deliver at least 25 A380s a year: CEO

[PARIS] Airbus has kept its 2013 goals for the A380 despite a dearth of orders, but struck a more cautious note for future years, saying it would not on average deliver fewer than 25 - which is below the level built into its longer-term financial targets.

CEO Fabrice Bregier told a French newspaper Airbus would both sell and deliver 25 of the world's largest passenger jets in 2013, meeting its targets.

"We will deliver 25 this year," he told Les Echos. "I have no intention of dropping below this rate in the years to come. The question is whether we will be able to increase sustainably to 30 aircraft (a year).
