Korean Air will have to put the celebratory press releases about an Airbus A380 delivery this year on hold.
Airbus has revealed that production delays will see the superjumbo being delivered to the airline by second quarter of 2011, and not December 2010 as originally planned.
Barring any further hitches, the carrier will still be able to utilise this premium aircraft on the Seoul-London route in time for the 2012 London Olympics as announced by Korean Air chief Yang Ho Cho last year.
