So I was wondering, considering the delivery rate to Qatar is so slow I was wondering which airline will over take Qatar as the largest operator of the A350? Cathay Pacific or Singapore Airlines maybe?

Qatar has taken 11 frames, Finnair is #2 with seven frames. 3 frames behind plan on the A350 MSN 36, 42 and 47. Also behind plan A380s MSN 193, 197 and 235, then add the cancelled A320 NEOs, I think they don't need them or can't afford to pay for them ! PS have they had to lease aircraft to make up for the short fall, no ! |

PS have they had to lease aircraft to make up for the short fall, no ! We were here talking about the A350 and if some other airline will pass Qatar in A350 numbers delivered. I do not get what that has to do with the A380. And we can be angry about Qatar, but there is a valid reason for Qatar not taking the A320neo's, hydraulic heat problems, apart from the engine troubles. Apart from the above, we do not know if there are still supply and quality problems with some of the Airbus suppliers and if Qatar A350 frames are delayed on the Airbus side. We can believe every problem is due to Qatar pigheadedness, but we can not be sure. |
