Is their a special reason that Spirit has so many rather old frames MSN7757, 7788, 7851, 8038, 8275 either delivered but stored, or not delivered? A summary of the information you can find in this thread. The frames are Tianjin NTUs. Spirit says it will take only 2 this year (already done, but not flown out). Frames are ordered by Aercap. Spirit will take 14 next year. aviationweek.com/commercial-aviation/spirit-airlines-plans-resume-accepting-a320neos-yearSo it looks like that Spirit do not want to integrate them now but will start next year in a steady flow. |

I know the history, but it is quite a while ago that they were moved over to Spirit, painted and ready to go.
It is nearly two years ago that a frame was delivered to Spirit.
According to that article we would see 2 go this year.

But as long as they are contractually delivered, flying them out or not doesn't really matter to Airbus. |

MSN7788, 7851 and 8038 should still be on Airbus books, but I could be wrong. |

I meant *some* of them are contractually delivered. 8038 just did its first flight couple of days ago, so Airbus might try to deliver more than 2 to Spirit this year. |
