John Leahy
“The market is just stronger everywhere ” Airbus sales chief John Leahy told reporters.
“We beat Boeing one last time ... we just went for it ”  Leahy  told Reuters.
Both bequeathed challenging targets to their successors as  Leahy  predicted that orders would exceed deliveries in 2018 for the ninth year in a row  while Bregier predicted “close to 800” deliveries this year as output accelerates after engine delays.
 Leahy  confirmed a Reuters report that the future of the A380 lies with Emirates  even though other airlines are interested in smaller numbers of the 544-seat jets. If the deal falls through  Airbus would have “no choice” but to close production   he  said.
