The MSN19 and MSN20 for Finnair are currently painted, on interior completion and engines installation phase.
Finally! A small admission that deliveries are running late. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBased on the current precedent that the airplane is delivered about a month after first flight, we should see MSN015 for Vietnam Airlines delivered very soon. Qatar's MSN008 should have been delivered already, but there is probably a small issue with the interior.
Looking forward to the upcoming deliveries (and times).
Airbus needs another production facility(or assembly plant). Toulouse is hard pressed being maxed out on the A320neo and the A330neo. The A350 is way behind,promised deliveries of three years ago, will be at least 19 aircraft behindat year end. As for the 'secret' A380neo, I believe orders for that aircraft will be very few. Emirates will dump it for the new Boeing 777-9x which carries 400 passengers with deliveries in 2022. That has only two engines and has a delivery date!
