Then SriLankan or China Southern will become the first customer. Maybe the first production frames but not the launch customers? or maybe they will take over the first Qatar frame? |

I guess either SL or CS will be the launch (first) customer, with their own frames, QR are not going to take an A321neo anytime soon ! |

QR are not going to take an A321neo anytime soon ! I would not bet ! We should always take into account a possible U-turn from QR.  |

AB would never give it to them ! Forget QR.
Is it known who will take those first QR frames ? Some rumor ?

Reuters: Qatar Airways talking to CFM about engines for revised Airbus order
Qatar Airways is in discussions with French-American engine maker CFM International about supplying engines for a revamped order for Airbus narrow-body jets that it expects to finalize "soon," its chief executive said on Thursday.
The Gulf airline has canceled four A320neo jets powered by alternative Pratt & Whitney engines and expects to swap the overall aircraft order, which was originally for 50 jets, to larger A321neo aircraft.
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker acknowledged that his airline had received attractive prices when it originally ordered the new Pratt & Whitney engine, but said a decision on whether to keep those or switch to CFM would depend on delivery and performance guarantees.
"We are still talking to CFM," he told Reuters, speaking after opening a 1,000 square meter business lounge at Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport.
Aircraft and engines are often sold separately. A person involved in the talks said the aircraft deal was "imminent."
