Airbus is facing a decision on the future of the A380, which has suffered stuttering sales. The head of the group's plane making unit said earlier on Thursday that it would one day launch a neo version with new engines or a stretched version.

Leahy also said the A320neo was commanding a price premium in the market and that prices for the older version, the A320ceo, were holding steady.
