      Airbus has said it will deliver a total of 13 A380s this year, and its ability to stick to this schedule is a key factor driving the shares of parent EADS .

      Airbus spokeswomen said the double-decker plane, the fourth to leave the production line, had taken off from Toulouse and was due to enter service in mid-May between Singapore and Tokyo.

      Singapore became the first airline to operate the A380 when it entered service last October following an 18-month delay due to production problems.
