Written question asked by Lord Gilbert (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Astor of Hever (Conservative) on Tuesday, 19 July 2011.
Armed Forces: A-400M
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with Airbus as to the effect on the projected number of commercial sales of the A-400M aircraft following its partial grounding at the 2011 Paris Air Show; and whether the projections will have any impact on the price they will pay for the aircraft as part of their order.
- Answer
-
No such discussions have taken place. However, as the A400M programme is still at the pre-production stage and flight trials are ongoing, we would not expect that the current engine problems revealed during flight trials to have any effect on potential future export sales. Furthermore, future sales over and above the current number of A400M on order do not affect the purchase price paid by customers for their aircraft.
