Walsh eyes used A380s but rules out new orders

摘要

IAG chief executive Willie Walsh has raised the prospect of British Airways adding "five or six" secondhand Airbus A380s to its fleet of 12 new superjumbos, while describing the type as a "fantastic" but "inflexible" aircraft. Used A380s could, Walsh indicates, be added to the fleet of IAG-owned Spanish flag carrier Iberia. At the same time, Walsh appears to rule out converting his current seven options for new A380s, saying the price being offered by Airbus is "too expensive". He had previously indicated that he did not see room for additional A380s at BA, beyond the 12 ordered.
