Airbus to sue Skymark over A380 contract
This further complicates the efforts of Japan’s third-biggest carrier to rebuild its finances
European aircraft maker Airbus Group is suing Skymark Airlines in Britain, escalating a half-year spat over a cancelled jet order and complicating the efforts of Japan’s third-biggest carrier to rebuild its finances.
The world’s second-largest planemaker “has filed a claim in the English court,” said Tokyo-based Airbus spokeswoman Utako Fujiso. She declined to comment further on the case.
Skymark understands that “Airbus is beginning preparations for litigation regarding a penalty for breach of contract,” said Skymark spokesman Hiroyuki Sakata. “Discussions with Airbus towards the resolution of this problem are proceeding and will continue to do so.”
Airbus cancelled a $2 billion contract with Skymark for six A380 superjumbo passenger jets in July after the carrier struggled to raise cash to pay the instalments.
