Thai Airways said Thursday it has negotiated with Airbus to delay the delivery of six A380 superjumbos to December 2012 from late 2010.
"We want to postpone the delivery as far as possible to reflect the current market conditions," Chairman Ampon Kittiampon told reporters after its board meeting.
The airline, majority owned by the state, is among several in Asia struggling to cope with reduced air travel because of the economic crisis and the latest flu outbreak. It was also hit by political instability in Thailand that cut tourist numbers.
