BEIJING (AFX) - The A380, the world's largest commercial airliner, will make its first test flight "within the next 15 days", Airbus vice-president Philippe Delmas said.
Delmas is in Beijing accompanying French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin on his three-day visit to China.
The inaugural flight of the new superjumbo airliner, developed by the European consortium, has been postponed several times.
Airbus had initially wanted the flight to take place at the end of March or
early April.
The twin-deck aircraft, capable of carrying between 555 and 800 people, was unveiled Jan 18 and is scheduled to go into service next year.
