"We had been informed that the A380s, with the delivery date of January 2011 will commence in August 2011 instead," says CEO and managing director Azmil Zahruddin.
He adds: "We have never requested for the A380s to be delayed, all delays have been at Airbus' request."
The carrier has six A380s on order.
