Monaco: Kingfisher Airlines is in no hurry to take delivery of five Airbus A380 superjumbos it has on order and could push their arrival beyond 2016, Kingfisher Chairman Vijay Mallya told Reuters.
India's second-busiest airline is also holding off making a decision on which engines to put on the world's largest jetliner, postponing a choice between Rolls-Royce and a group led by General Electric and Pratt & Whitney.
"We haven't decided the delivery dates yet," Mallya said in an interview, asked when the $350-million jets would be in service.
Pressed on whether it would be in 2016, he said: "That, I would say, is the earliest. We don't really need that kind of capacity right now. Five is a lot of seats to fill."
