Airbus, a European aircraft maker, needs to sell about 300 of its new A380 aircraft to break even.

According to a spokesman for EADS, which owns 80% of Airbus, the aircraft maker needs to sell about 300 aircraft even if the euro-US dollar exchange rate remains at 1.30 for years, Reuters reported. The statement by the official reportedly confirmed comments made by Philippe Camus, EADS co-director.
