With the Olympic Summer Games 2008 in Peking coming up they intend to commission the first of five Airbus A380 mega-jets for China. This could well fall through, because Airbus – as is generally known – has significantly postponed the start of production. At Herpa the first A380 in the livery of the South Chinese airline will be released on schedule.
