I was wondering the same thing. Also, Qatar frames lately seem to deliver somewhat faster and smoother. If only, TLS still clogged with many part completed QR frames. Very slow progress, unfortunately. Geoff

One should not mix up the -900 and -1000. The CX A350-1000 are also not getting ready.
Regarding the Qatar A350-900 frames, MSN100, 106 and 143 are flying. MNS143 has done a CAF and MSN100 is also at the DC. MSN114 and 207 are in cabin fit. That leaves only MSN126, 163 and 172 in storage.

That’s still 8 delayed -900s to be delivered with more still being assembled. QR has only taken 1 -900 so far this year. How long before they catch up, do you think?

I don't see why you are charecterising all QR frames as delayed. I am sure production and deliveries are going per plan, as agreed between Airbus ans QR.

We just need to look at the QR MSNs to see how far delayed they are from their original schedule. I think this matters because QR’s procrastination has had a debilitating effect on Airbus. Geoff

Geoff delayed from what, the original plans or the plans made after Qatar and Airbus reached a new agreement? As it is three, Qatar A350-900 are doing test flights, two of them having had there first CAF.

The delivery of QR frames is as slow and disturbed as usual. Any sign of improvement is again gone. BTW: Could we move the discussion to the QR 350 thread?
