I agree, AF must have deferred it even further. Small delivery date adjustments are frequent. If it is a matter of, say, two months, to call it a deferment would be an overstatement.

The numbers in the article doesn't make sense specially the deliveries in 2013. Airbus said in the beginning of the year they targeting 35 deliveries in 2014 so the average for this year and 2014 is 30 Edit: it seems a typo the 15 deliveries since in the same paragraph they say 25

That's a typo, they mention 25 a bit further:
28 was also the guidance for 2012 and they eventually delivered 30, so that makes sense.

These numbers add up. 97 deliveries by the end of 2012 + 25 in 2013 + 28 in 2014 make 150 by the end of 2014.
If 28 is Airbus' new 2014 delivery target, then it is disappointing (30 in 2012). This tends to confirm slow A380 sales prospects and suggests that Airbus has given up on ramping up production for the time being.
For the moment, I'll still take these numbers with a grain of salt.

Thanks XWB, nice find! It makes sense to me though, and it is very nice to have then confirmed just 1 for Skymark and just 1 for Etihad: 0 for Singapore Airlines, 11 for Emirates (MSN141 MSN142 MSN147 MSN150 MSN153 MSN154 MSN157 MSN158 MSN159 MSN164 MSN165) 0 for Qantas, 1 for Air France (MSN117), 2 for Lufthansa (MSN146 MSN149), 2 for Korean Air (MSN130 MSN156), 5 for British Airways (MSN144 MSN148 MSN151 MSN161 MSN163), 3 for Qatar Airways (MSN137 MSN143 MSN145), 2 for Asiana Airlines (MSN152 MSN155), 1 for Skymark Airlines (MSN162), and 1 for Etihad Airways (MSN166). Total,.....28! Fabien

Airbus's 2014 build schedule is currently 30 aircraft for 2014 per a reliable source. The numbers above are reasonable!

In an interview with French business paper "Les Echos" on October 29th, Bregier says he does not know whether an increased production pace of 30 A380s per year after 2013 could be sustained.
