D-AVXB should fly in the next days according to WSJ. Airbus prefers Leap engines A321 to fly first and PW one in the next weeks. But delivery schedule remains unchanged (PW first) according to Airinfo. It is very difficult to see how they could deliver the PW engined plane first, unless they artificially retard delivery of the CFM planes. I hardly imagine that Airbus would accept that kind of customer ire just so that PW can deliver first, especially given that the delays are caused by PW themselves. I should imagine that the PW customers just get pushed back while the CFM customers keep their regular schedules. The PW engine is certified already on the A320, the CFM is still not certified yet on the A320. That may explain it ? |

Like tomorrow or Wednesday? I'm just dreading to get a photo of it. The phrase is ' dying to get a photo of it' and I wish you well. |

Flight radar 24 seems to be quiet. Is anybody there? Is anything going on? Anything moving?
