Eight for August? 76, 127, 128, 130, 133, 129, 136 & possibly 138. It is the holiday season in France this month, so most staff will have two weeks off during August ! So I am not sure if 8+ in August is doable ? I was being very optimistic, but friends here are even more optimistic than me!

I was being very optimistic, but friends here are even more optimistic than me! Although ! August last year was the second best month for deliveries with 6, only Decembers 13 beat it ! AB did offer big overtime incentives last year for staff to work in August / defer their holidays.

So was it just 6 A350 deliveries in July ? Of the ten 'possibles' four didn't make it. 76 and 83 which are at the whim of QR. 127 which was a surprise and 136 which was never likely for July. Both of these are for LH. Geoff You forgot MSN 5 which was obviously delivered - i.e. 7 pcs ?

MSN 135 is due in August as well. MSN115 took them 49 days between first flight and delivery (but not yet leaving TLS), they have to do faster (within 42 days) to get MSN135 delivered in August. MSN115 was painted after first flight, MSN135 was painted before first flight, that's two or three weeks of difference.

I was being very optimistic, but friends here are even more optimistic than me! For me in August will be MSN76, 127, 128, 129, 130, 133, 135, 136. My maybes will be MSN83, 124 and 134. MSN138 has still to be painted and I think she will be painted in XFW replacing MSN130. If I have to guess, 8 frames is the minimum for August and AB will try to reach 10. MSN76, 124, 127, 128, 129, 130, 133, 134, 135 and 136.

Unless QR send an A350 to refurb for every new delivery and start to compensate for the end of lease of the LATAM frames.

Updates on A350XWBproduction showing 7 deliveries this month.
124, 127, 128, 129, 130, 133 and 135.
Given up on QR and looks as though MSN 136 will now be delivered to LH in September not August. Might this be a result of the delays with MSN 127 ?
