The end-of the year target to deliver 15 A350s in 2015 is
still challenging.
Probably deliveries until end of the year will be:
- MSN19 Finnair
- MSN20 Finnair
- MSN24 TAM
- MSN22 Finnair
And in January/2016 the first deliveries of the year will be
MSN23 Finnair and MSN12 Qatar.
First picture looks like a bird strike in progress!
ReplyDeleteThe rarity here is the aircraft.

I heard that singapore airlines first a350 will be the first a350 delivered next year. This new is by airbus. So now i am confused
ReplyDeleteFinnair deliveries for nthis year will be in 2016 as will outstanding Qatar aircraft,the only probable other aircraft this year is Tam Airlines,which in Flightline right now but as it says above it takes a month to do 2 test flights plus a customer acceptance flight, that too could be 2016. So I would expect no further deliveries this year. See you all in the New Year-Happy Christmas all!

12th A350 delivered, the 11th this year. There are still 4 more planes to deliver to meet the low-end of the goal for 2015. Apparently there are 3 for Finnair and 1 for TAM. We'll see which of those make it out the door.
