Airbus SAS is preparing
to file a lawsuit in Britain against Skymark Airlines over the Japanese
airline’s purchase of Airbus A380 superjumbo jets, informed sources
said.
In 2011, Skymark signed a
contract to buy six A380s. But it later asked for changes to the
contract, including a delay in the purchase, due to its poor business
performance.
Concluding that Skymark
had called off the purchase, Airbus in July notified the Japanese firm
of its decision to terminate the contract and demanded a penalty of ¥70
billion. Skymark has asked for a smaller penalty.
A senior Skymark official
said Saturday that the move by Airbus suggests the European aircraft
maker wants to resolve the issue early and that no decision to file a
suit has been made.
