When we see the LH A350 MSN174 delivered tomorrow, we will see a new January delivery record. January 2018 will double the 2017 record of one A350 delivered.

At least 2 more I guess (MSN 177 & 180).

At least 2 more I guess (MSN 177 & 180). MSN 181 just performed a CAF. It could have been a candidate, but I don't think TG would take two A350s at the same time.

I had a look at both A350 production lists. There are 7 or 8 frames in station 20, according to what list you look at. I thought there were 10 station 20 for cabin fit. What frames are missing? Are more Qatar frames in outfitting than shown?

Are more Qatar frames in outfitting than shown? ... Or the present situation - right after the year-end push - is atypical, or some missing information has delayed updates to the production lists ... Fewer than ten frames in station 20 may also result from production improvements : if fitting out takes less time, then some bays are not used until the next rate increase. I don't think station 20 is at rate 10 yet ...

Regarding the rate of production, I have never seen so many frames being either waiting for the first flight or doing test flights working up to delivery.

So, 4 deliveries in January (contractually speaking) is not a bad start for the year compared to last year.
I have as suitable at least 7 for February (MSN 180, 182, 183, 184, 185, 186 and MSN88) at 2 that could make the full process (MSN187 and 189) both with the ER already performed. It will be a incredible start if all of them are delivered.

It will be a incredible start if all of them are delivered. As we are counting delivery flights, I make it 3. With all the frames working up and ready for first flight, 7 and 6 respectively, and the two Qatar frames MSN88 and MSN132, I would look to something like 10+ in January.
