Not sure how fuel costs affect the airframer, I think Airbus' increased
costs have more to do with contract penalties for not delivering on
time and some extensive redesign work on certain A380 systems. So far
the only cancellation I've read about is FedEx dropping their 10-plane
order and buying B-777 freighters instead.

Airbus paid the lead customer $104 million in delay penalties this week.
