I am not sure a comparison to IAG is a good one ? Which is mainly made up of three legacy national carriers or two if you look back 3 years ! PS these posts need moving some where else ! You started this off with the Hong Kong Airlines is a joke comment as answer to the HNA group could still have in interest in A380. Looking at data like planespotters.net the whole fleet number is 464 birds, excluding business jets and the interests outside China. That includes 44 A330 and 10 787. 2007 HNA ordered 42 787, so I assume there are more to join the fleets, it is difficult to find out under what those frames are booked, as orders from China are handled at Boeing often as unidentified. A plain order of A350 does not seem very unlikely, a follow on order of A330 neither. I did not start this off ! PS I was responding to a post from philidor who was talking about Hong Kong airlines outstanding order for A 380s |

OK - I do believe no harm was done - I hope some of our moderators-administrator would move this to the place it should be in  |

Hard in fact to keep any thread 100% about a set topic, there could/would always be references to something else, comments about something needed for the thread's conversation but that might not be totally related to the topic but that if we would remove them the conversation wouldn't make sense anymore, etc........

There is a small report about Premium Aerotec in Augsburg (only in german). They are adding additional production capacity for A350 rear side shells and CFRP door frames. In the future they intend to produce 26 rear side shells (=13 shipsets) per month. |

So it seems a bit early to go to 13, unless they only work 7 months per year ? |

We don't know what's going on behind the scenes. Airbus is officially committed to 10 A350s per month by 2018, but perhaps they are preparing for an even higher rate.
