I strongly doubt the planes will go out in sequence - we already now see they will NOT.
It will be interesting to see what will happen (if in short time ?) with the younger part of the test fleet.

What I find interesting is that TAM's first aircraft is MSN24 whilst Finnair's 5th aircraft is MSN23 meaning that MSN24 will overtake MSN23 if Finnair is to recieve 4 a/c this year and TAM 1. Also, with the exception of MSN 23, if the aircraft are delivered in sequence and none of the test fleet are sold, Airbus will deliver 17 aircraft this year, 8 to QR, 4 to VN, 4 to AY and 1 to JJ. Finnair probably doesn't have the resources the take delivery of five aircraft in such short period. Taking delivery of a new jetliner is a pretty exhaustive process for many airlines. |

We don't know when Finnair's information was last updated. Anyhow, changes in delivery schedules may still occur later this year.

Let's hope the 350 will not have the problems 787 had in second year.  Well the first significant 787 malfunction happened just two weeks after going into service. www.flightglobal.com/blogs/flightblogger/2011/11/ana_sees_first_glitch_as_787_m/On approach to landing, the MLGs failed to deploy (as you can see in the picture) and had to be done so by alternate means. The A350 has been in service for exactly one month now, but so far, nothing of such significance has turned up on it. |

Though I am eager to see a flow of aircraft leaving the factory, I think we should emphasise that the above timeline is tentative, as Airbus still seems to be struggling.
Do you remember that in early H2 2014, Airbus was still talking of delivering "one or two" A350s in 2014. Actually, MSN 7 did not come close to being ready ! That's why I take those projections with a grain of salt.
