Emirates Airline is seeking compensation from Airbus for loss of revenue due to grounded Airbus A380s.
Safety engineers found cracks in almost all Airbus A380 planes inspected.
Emirates is not alone. Qantas Airways grounded one of its planes for up to a week following the discovery of 36 separate cracks in wing parts. European Air Safety Agency (EASA) recommended examination of all Airbus A380s in the Qantas fleet and 20 aircraft operated by Singapore Airlines.
The Airbus list price is $390 million. France-based Airbus is not expected to turn a profit before 2015.
