Mi sa che per il momento non se ne parla, anche se se lo vogliono per il 2020 devono cominciare a pensarci per tempo:
TAM: No need for A380 for another decade
Mark Pilling, Berlin (08Jun10, 16:37 GMT, 206 words)
Brazil's TAM Airlines will not add the A380 to its multi-type Airbus fleet until the end of the decade at the earliest.
"According to our growth forecasts we don't need the A380 until 2020," said Libano Barroso, chief executive of the Brazilian carrier, speaking at the ILA Berlin Air Show after the airline ordered 20 Airbus A320s and five A350-900s.
TAM chairwoman Maria Claudia Amaro adds that there is "also an infrastructure thing to fix in Brazil", referring to the country's congested airports.
"The earliest slot available [for the A380] is 2015 - just in time for the Games," noted John Leahy, Airbus chief operating officer for customers. The Olympics are to be held in Brazil in 2016.
TAM's new order, worth $2.9 billion, brings its total Airbus agreements to 176 aircraft, says the manufacturer's head, Tom Enders. "TAM is our largest customer in the entire southern hemisphere," he adds.
The top-up order for A350s means that TAM has 27 of the type on order, 12 A350-800 versions and 15 A350-900s.
TAM will receive its first A350 in 2016. The extra A350 order is because "TAM is replacing its A330s in a faster way than we anticipated", says Barroso.
