Military delegations from European countries which have ordered the A400 military transport plane, a replacement for the C-130 Hercules, will meet in Berlin Dec. 2 to discuss cost overruns and delays.
The A400M project has incurred billions of Euros in cost overruns and development problems that have delayed delivery by more than three years. France, Germany, Britain, Spain, Belgium, Luxembourg and Turkey have all bought the plane and have already met together in Berlin last Thursday in Berlin to arrive at a common response in their dispute with EADS/Airbus the manufactorer of the plane.
The cost overrun EADS expects is around 5 billion Euro – more than previously expected – on top of a total cost for the project of 20 billion Euro.
