Airbus boasted about their ability to sell airplanes, well, now they have to build them... This is out of the Baltimore Sun today: Airbus CEO calls dollar's fall a 'calamity' for firm Airbus Industrie Chief Executive Noel Forgeard said yesterday that the dollar's recent decline against European currencies is a "calamity" for the plane maker, whose revenue is in dollars but whose costs are in European currencies. His remarks, made in a speech at a Paris business conference, indicate that even as Airbus has won record orders, it faces considerable hurdles in meeting its goal of being a profitable company that will one day attract investors on international stock exchanges. Forgeard also indicated that his company could possibly face production delays, as has Boeing Co., Airbus' only rival in the market for large commercial aircraft.
