MALAYSIA AIRLINES COMPENSATED US$102 MLN FOR A380 DELAY
KUALA LUMPUR, July 6 (Bernama) -- Malaysia Airlines received RM329 million (US$102.81 million) in compensation from Airbus following the delay in delivering the A380 aircraft, Parliament was told Tuesday.
Malaysia Airlines' first A380 aircraft was supposed to have been delivered
in 2007.
Deputy Transport Minister Jelaing Mersat said after several delays, Airbus
informed the airlines that the aircraft would be delivered in August 2011 but
that too had run into a delay.
The aircraft would now be delivered in April 2012, he said.
"Malaysia Airlines received a one-off payment of RM329 million," he said in
reply to MP Hee Loy Sian who wanted to know when the first A380 would be
delivered to Malaysia Airlines and whether compensation was paid following the
delay.
To Hee's supplementary question on the upgrading works at KL International
Airport to accommodate the superjumbo, Jelaing said it involved a cost of
RM115.5 million (US$36.09 million)
