The 525 seat Airbus A380 launched in 2007 is expected to reach the breakeven point in 2015. Higher deliveries of the A380 led to a 41% decline in net profit for the 3rd quarter 2014. Production improvements on the A380 increased operating income by 14%. This will enable Airbus to benefit from the fuel efficient long range A350, which completed a maiden flight in the 3rd quarter 2014, with the first deliveries by the end of the year. The A320 neo also will add to profitability, as it is sold out to 2020, according to UBS. The A380 will be profitable by 2020, with more investment needed to upgrade the engine's fuel efficiency to compete with Boeing's competing version, the 777X. The uncertainty is reflected in Airbus share price, declining 8% in 2014 and trading at 5.7 times earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, compared to Boeing's 8.7, according to FactSet.

Airbus 380's entry into India- 2013-2015

11/11/2013

The Airbus 380 is likely to make its entry into India at Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad airports. Airbus says it would carry passengers at a per unit cost lower than India's Rajdhani Express rail service. India is a major market for this aircraft which can carry about 800 passengers in an all economy seating plane. For the Jan-Sept 2013 period Indian flights carried 45.7 million passengers, an increase of about 4.3% over the prior year. Lufthansa and Etihad have asked for permission to fly the Airbus 380 in India.
