I only count 49 deliveries including MSN140? Is there a list?
Edit, found my error, I had MSN137 missing!

Why can't that honour be given to TLS long term resident MSN83? For Airbus, Singapore Airlines is undoubtedly a well respected client. I don't think Qatar Airways is referred to in a similar way. Also I doubt it would be wise for marketing purposes to promote a ramp up in production with an airframe that made it's first flight almost four months ago. May I remind everyone that Qatar is the customer with the largest order for A350, Qatar is the launch customer for A350-900, and also the launch customer for A350-1000. Qatar is a strong supporter to get this programme started, and agreed to change A350-800 order on Airbus' request (Singapore, Etihad and Cathay did not have to face that hassle, -800 wasn't in their fleet plan).
OK, we don't like AAB and the way they do things. But I am pretty sure Airbus people won't mix business with fillings, cash is the king and every delivery means payment in hand. All delays, interest payment, parking fees, etc. are all in lawyer drafted contract, shouldn't worry too much about that. If they can't handle the hassle they won't be in business.
I was half joking, it is unlikely MSN83 gets the honour, but I think Qatar do deserve some credit on A350 programme. |
