Malaysia Airlines says the delivery of its Airbus A380s has been delayed at the airframer's request.

"We had been informed that the A380s, with the delivery date of January 2011 will commence in August 2011 instead," says CEO and managing director Azmil Zahruddin.

He adds: "We have never requested for the A380s to be delayed, all delays have been at Airbus' request."

The carrier has six A380s on order.
