Airbus warns A380 may face further delays

DUBAI, May 6 (Reuters) - European planemaker Airbus warned Dubai's Emirates airline [EMAIR.UL], its biggest A380 customer, it may face further delays next year in the delivery of the world's largest passenger plane, the carrier said on Tuesday.

Airbus sent a letter to state-owned Emirates, which has ordered 58 of the aircraft, informing it of possible delays in its "wave 2" deliveries, airline President Tim Clark told Reuters by telephone in Dubai.

This would apply to A380s being delivered to the carrier from April next year, Clark said.
