PARIS, June 13 (Reuters) European aircraft manufacturer Airbus today said deliveries of its new A380 superjumbo passenger plane would be delayed by six to seven months by production bottlenecks.

Airbus said in a statement it still expected to deliver its first A380 before end-2006.

It said, however, it now expected to deliver just nine aircraft in 2007 and that there would also be shortfalls of between five and nine planes in 2008 and of around five in 2009.
