MSN7 being weighed should only take the 1 day before being moved to get engines attached.Is it possible we may see MSN7 flying late in October?
MSN 6 has spent like 3 weeks now in C65 i hope this is just due to initial inspections for quality for the first of its aircraft. Looking at MSN9 and MSN10 there is still a half chance they will fly in like early December. If they can get it done quickly could have a 2014 delivery?...Surely now 2 cabin furnishings have been done they are more efficient.
The whole line is speeding up now and then looking for 3 aircraft per month entering FAL from January/February(fingers crossed.

MSN7 is now in C64 for engine installation and cabin furnishing. Should take 3 to 4 weeks, like MSN6.

Ahh yeah that would seem to push delivery back to late November for MSN7. In that case MSN9 and MSN10 will be delivered definitely after New-years break.Should see MSN15 next week as well enter FAL (S50) if they are keeping up with at-least 2 per month.

I doubt MSN7 will be delivered this year. MSN6 is scheduled for December, and MSN7 will need another month.

Airbus has been planning to deliver two A350s to QR before year-end. I bet they will bring AAB his new year present in due time. Whether he will find the interiors to his taste is another matter ...

Well Tom Enders said '1 or 2' so 2 is not a given yet.

Well Tom Enders said '1 or 2' so 2 is not a given yet. I read this as a cautious wording. Airbus prefers to under-promise and over-achieve ... Anyhow, whether it is one or two does not really make a difference.

Thanks XWB! Oh MSN6 is still on the FL, would it have to wait for an OF bay (C63, C64?) to be freed to finish the cabin, and how long could it take?...

Maybe MSN6 will bring us some kind of surprise.
