One of our reliable forum members has had news lately of the following MSN in Parts Built, seen in Hamburg early February 2013:
Rear Fuselage parts of MSN117 (Air France) MSN137 (Qatar Airways) MSN138 (Emirates) MSN139 (Emirates) MSN140 (Emirates) MSN141 (Emirates)
Forward Fuselage part of MSN144 (British Airways)
other parts seen of MSN142 (Emirates) MSN143 (Qatar Airways) MSN146 (Lufthansa) MSN148 (British Airways) MSN150 (Emirates)
Absent apparently are MSN104 (Air France?), MSN118 (Lufthansa) and MSN130 (Korean Air)….. might that mean that next convoy might be one of them?……

Were those parts under construction or finished?

Absent apparently are MSN104 (Air France?), MSN118 (Lufthansa) and MSN130 (Korean Air)….. might that mean that next convoy might be one of them?…… Or might that mean that they are postponed for unknown while?... Anyone knows something about these frames?

I wonder if the same applies to c/n 104?

Aero Transport Data Bank ( ATDB) You can see a few things for free before being locked out, unless you pay.

Also, according to ATDB F-HPJK will not be used. It seems then that: 104 is a cancelled msn. 115 will be F-HPJI (this one is now in XFW). 117 will be F-HPJJ (parts seen in XFW as per this thread). will be F-HPJL (msn not yet allocated). I have no further evidence for this (at this time), but will update when I find more info.

Thanks peter, that is some useful information.
Unfortunately we will never know why.
And F-HPJL won't be delivered until 2016.

This is the one said to be for Air Austral. Is there any word on the cancelation of their order. Nothing official by Airbus, I know, but how about rumours??
