I would say that this article is the normal negative A380 speculation, based on what, rumors? |

This contains exactly ZERO information what so ever.  |

Leahy sounded a bit more confident when he responded to the question on Hong Kong's order. We'll see what happens.  |

The question with this order is not whether the airline will take delivery (it cannot since it has been restricted to regional operations by Chinese authorities), it is whether the order will be transferred to another company, or altogether cancelled.
The fact that Airbus has moved the order to the "undisclosed customer" category keeps some hope of a transfer to some other - probably Chinese - airline, possibly belonging to the Hainan group.

Airbus' July end figures still show the undisclosed order for 10 A380s. So the Hong Kong airline order or what's become of it has not been cancelled in exchange for the A320neos as rumoured. This is reflective of John Leahy's comments about the order during the FAS.  |
