I don't think cabin fitting takes more than than expected. Most Station 20's are occupied by A330s. Remember, when Airbus design the A350 FAL in 2006, they never expected that A330s would be running at 10 per month.

If you are right, then this may not be a temporary issue improving with productivity gains. The upcoming decrease in the A330 production rate may bring some relief, but if the A330neo is successful, then Airbus will face a permanent lack of floor space for A350/A330 production.

The tents are temporary.
They can always construct more buildings. Currently the M90 building (which was used for A400M work) is being transformed in an additional S20 station for the A330 with room for 2 aircraft.

That is the answer - they need more working stations, but if they are building them now, it will be quickly done.

Shows that there are a lot more UK suppliers than just Broughton and RR, which we are most familiar with.

This should give us a clue about upcoming customer deliveries.

I am confused ?
OK first delivery to QATAR was fixed early but earlier than 2011 for 2014 - but.... first deliveries for let say 2016 in the graph were fixed earlier than 2013 so ?
The whole graph is peculiar.

It's not a delivery schedule, it just shows the next customers. In other words, after Qatar, Finnair and Vietnam, we will have SriLankan, Air China, Thai, TAM, Singapore Airlines and Ethiopian Airlines.
