Singapore Air looking for compensation for A380 delay

SINGAPORE, June 14 (Reuters) Singapore Airlines said on Wednesday it was disappointed with new delays for the delivery of the new A380 superjumbo and was talking to Airbus parent EADS about compensation for the setback.

''We are disappointed with the news of further delays, but will work with Airbus to minimise the delays and their impact,'' said a spokesman for Singapore Air, which plans to be the first airline to fly the world's biggest passenger aircraft.

He said Singapore Air still expected to receive its first A380 by the end of the year.
