This is the 2nd aircraft delivered to Vietnam Airlines and the 6th A350 delivered to Customers.
Anything useful around on why the deliveries got delayed?
ReplyDeleterefits or some furniture items not available?
Airbus is pretty tight-lipped about it. I wonder why the press was all over the 787's problems and A350 barely gets any news.
DeleteFinally....i wonder how long before the next delivery.
ReplyDeleteBoeing made a big thing about the 787 "Dreamliner" and then it all won't wrong. Maybe after the 380 and its fair share of problems Airbus have decided a softly softly introduction.

ReplyDeleteMaybe the 787 got coverage due to the numerous emergency landings and fires followed by a 4 month grounding.
ReplyDeleteMSN8 could be next weekend followed by MSN11 a few days later.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to say a word!
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to find out what all these "rework" tasks are. It seems every aircraft is getting its fairbshare if rework.
ReplyDeleteIs it safe to say the delivery target of 15 won't be achieved?
ReplyDeleteIt'll be tight but it's achievable. 5 have been delivered. 5 are in flight test/delivery centre all of which could be delivered by mid-October. 6 are at Station 20 (engine/cabin fit) - the final stage before flight testing.
ReplyDeleteAugust was always going to be a quiet month with the holiday period. Activity is very much picking up.
