UPS HAS cancelled its order for 10 Airbus A380 freighters This follows the signing of an earlier agreement that specified a revised delivery schedule that delayed UPS’s first A380 jumbo freighter from 2010 to 2012. UPS originally expected its first freighter in 2009. The decision by Airbus to divert employees from the A380 freighter programme to work on the passenger version of the plane is believed to have prompted the cancellation of the deal.
