Between lengthy production delays, a sales slump, and an investigation of the top executives selling off their own shares of the company, the outlook for Airbus seems questionable at best.
http://investmentsmagazine.com/mana...sp?C=60&A=17306 http://www.thestreet.com/_msn/comme...10292003_2.html It seems there are also structural issues with the fuselage: http://www.compositesnews.com/cni.asp?articleID=11515 Pity they didn't follow Boeing's lead of producing a smaller, more fuel efficient airplane.

It seems there are even more woes for EADS Airbus.
Emirates Airline and FedEx have dropped their Airbus orders for the A340 and A380 aircraft respectively. Emirates is also assessing the accuracy of a two year production delay for an unfulfilled order of A380 aircraft. Instead, both Emirates and FedEx ordered the more cost efficient Boeing 777. Not surprisingly, Boeing's stock value rose and EADS fell. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/storie...EMPLATE=DEFAULT http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/storie...EMPLATE=DEFAULT
