Now we know why on the recent Airbus Extraordinary Accounts why so much bubble wrap was placed on order.

Looks like the Airbus target of 15 this year is going to be quite a challenge. Several of this year's potential deliveries are now set for 2016. 15 this year now looks like a maximum assuming no more delays.

MSN 24 will roll out to the flight line later this month.
MSN 12 still needs to be painted, I think it will go into paint after MSN 29. Then it should roll out at the end of November / early December.

I would expect MSN13, 17, 19, 20, 22 and 24 to be delivered. 13, 17 and 19 had their first flight, 20 is rolled out and 22 and 24 are painted in station 20 for cabin furnishing.

The problem with guessing here is that the production does not go here in same steps on all frames. i.e.  ? |

Summarising what I read.
Airbus needs 6 more to reach target of 15.
13, 17 and 19 have all flown and 'should' be delivered OK in 2015.
20 has rolled out and should also be OK.
12 and 24 have yet to rollout but are possibles for 2015 delivery.
21 and 22 are no longer possible.

Geoff I understand MSN21 not being possible, but MSN22 is painted and in cabin furnishing like 24. I actually think MSN12 is not possible as it is not painted yet like MSN21. I think there is a go slow on Qatar frames, as MSN12, 21 and 25 are the only not painted frames up to MSN27 and MSN29, and 30 are being painted now. |
