Air France (AF, Paris CDG) is reportedly in talks with Airbus (AIB, Toulouse Blagnac) about deferring the delivery of the carrier's pending order of four A380-800s by several months, to allow the loss-making operator time to return to profit and cut debt by EUR 2 billion by the end of 2014. An Air France-KLM spokeswoman said "the airline was finalising talks with Airbus to delay delivery of its ninth A380 until September this year from an unspecified date and its 10th until April 2014 from 2013." The other two, due in 2014, would come at an unspecified later date. Talks with the European aircraft manufacturer and Rolls-Royce apropos the airline's USD 7 billion order for twenty-five wide-bodied A350-900 jets are still ongoing. Last year, the Franco-Dutch carrier cancelled an option "which could no longer be extended" to buy an A380-800 and again postponed the delivery of one B777-300ER by a year. Other deferrals include three Airbus A320-200s and another B777-300ER.
