"Regarding Emirates, what I can say is that I am very grateful that they are such a strong supporter of the A380 and that they are challenging us to say 'we want to buy more, we want the new version, we will be your big customer'. So I believe that this is also a key to the future success of the A380 and future versions of this aircraft," Fabrice Brégier, President of Airbus Commercial Aircraft and Chief Operating Officer of Airbus, told Gulf News in a webcast on Wednesday during its commercial aircraft media briefing.
