The Airbus official was commenting on a report in the German press Monday that the maiden flight will be delayed by a few weeks.

"A day or two or even a week or two- doesn´t make much difference," since the A380 will be in production for several decades, the Airbus spokeswoman said. "The essential thing is to get it right," she said.

Rainer Hertrich, co-chairman of European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co., Airbus´s parent company, said at the beginning of March the first flight could take place at the beginning of April. Airbus´s Chief Marketing Officer John Leahy also said last month the first test flight could take place in the first two weeks of April.

According to recent press reports, the A380´s first flight may be having difficulties with its landing gear. These reports have been denied by the aircraft builder.

Static ground tests on the first of the double-decker aircraft have been progressing for weeks now at Airbus´ headquarters at Toulouse, in southwest France. Acceleration and braking tests will take place in the weeks prior to its first takeoff.

Airbus is 80% controlled by EADS and 20 percent by BAE Systems PLC of the U.K.
