Airbus terminates purchase order with Skymark Airlines for A380s
Following discussions with Skymark Airlines and in light of the airline’s expressed intentions in respect of the A380, Airbus has in accordance with its contractual rights, notified Skymark Airlines that the purchase order for the six A380s signed in 2011 has been terminated. Airbus is reserving all its rights and remedies.
Skymark has published a press release in Japanese where (if I am correct) they complain about the unacceptable amount of money asked by Airbus to cancel the order. Airbus also suggests that Skymark discusses with a major airline (like Delta?) to be put under their umbrella in order for that airline to pick up the order.
