PARIS (Reuters) - Air France-KLM is seeking compensation from Airbus for service disruptions caused by technical glitches affecting its fleet of A380 superjumbo aircraft, French daily Les Echos reported.
The carrier wants
compensation for the loss of revenue from grounding its fleet as well as
inspecting and repairing wing cracks, which have led to delays and flight
cancellations, Les Echos said on its website without citing sources.
European air
safety regulators this year ordered checks for A380 wing cracks in the entire
superjumbo fleet after engineers found cracks in almost all planes
inspected.
The plan to
inspect and repair Air France's superjumbo fleet would be equivalent to idling
one of the jets for a year and a loss of revenue of between 30 and 50 million
euros ($64.53 million), according to the newspaper.
Emirates Airline,
the world's largest operator of A380 jets, has said it plants to seek
compensation from the planemaker.
