Rumors of A380 Decision Untrue, UPS Says

UPS says there is no truth to rumors printed in a French newspaper that UPS has made a decision to cancel its order for ten Airbus A380 freighters.

“As we have said many times, talks are ongoing between Airbus and UPS. All options are on the table, but no decisions have been made,” said Mark Giuffre’, public relations manager. “We believe it is inappropriate to speculate on details or potential changes at this time."

The cancellation rumor was reported in the French business newspaper Les Echo. The information was not attributed to any sources either at UPS or at Airbus.

Last year, FedEx cancelled its A380 order and a lease company converted its freighter orders to passenger versions, leaving UPS as the only customer for the cargo version of the aircraft.
