News out of the states this morning is that Cargolux is not taking delivery of the 747-8F Monday owing to contract issues.


BREAKING: Cargolux has informed Boeing it will not take delivery of the 747-8F Monday

Maybe they use UBS for financing and someone made an unauthorised trade....

Could be related to offsets for performance shortfall.

Reading between the lines (looking at various bits and pieces on this from various online articles) it would seem the quoted performance wont be met and the dispute is over appropriate compensation.
