Albeit deliveries are running way behind, is it just a matter of time before these frames are repainted and delivered to other customers? there are only some many things you can do to the interior of an A320.

Why ? I think QR will take them as soon as the followings conditions are met. 1 - The airline is satisfied that the aircraft meet agreed specifications ; Airbus officially raising the maximum outside temperature at take off from 50°C to 55°C (a major issue for QR) may end the dispute. This should happen later this month. 2 - An agreement between Airbus and QR settles QR's compensation claims. |

Compensation has never been mentioned in public, but why do you think AAB repeatedly mentions losses incurred by his airline as a consequence of delivery delays ? He is making his legal case ... until they agree on some settlement. |

Is that where engine installation happens? Or is it just a sign that they've move from storage and some work will eventually be performed.
