Airbus has to tackle the difficult task of rolling out the A380 in 2006, developing the A380 freighter, ramping up production on the A400M military transport and beginning development of the A350 for a mid-2010 introduction. |
This is the first time in a long time when Airbus was a bit weaker and the defense and space divisions compensated. The outlook is for €3.2 billion to €3.4 billion, but we are looking for the upper end of the range. |
