Airbus opens second delivery centre

HAMBURG: Stepping up output of its giant A380 plane, Airbus opened a second delivery centre on Friday in the German city of Hamburg. Reflecting its Franco-German heritage, the company builds the hulls of the two-deck planes in Toulouse, France and paints them and fits the seats in Hamburg, sharing out most of the work equally.
