Chicago Times/Bloomberg: Airbus scores major order for delayed A380

Airbus SAS has won a $2.7 billion order for nine A380s from Singapore Airlines Ltd., the first firm commitment to the plane since the European company said in June that it was beset by production delays because of wiring problems.

Australian airline Qantas ordered eight more A380 super jumbo planes from Airbus, taking its total order for the 550 seat plane to 20, Airbus said on Thursday. It follows a decision by Singapore Airlines on Wednesday to order nine additional A380s. Qantas also ordered an extra four Airbus A330-200 jets.
