good day guys, pardon if my question is a repeat. Does anyone know what the break even Airframe number is for the A350? considering there are double digits QR frames at various stages of preparation, and, Acceptance of these frames are at such a pace, this must be affecting Airbus cash flow..even though they will still be losing money up to that particular break even number.

Does anyone know please what the current rate of A350 build per month is currently in order to assess how Airbus production rate is versus their target of perhaps 10/month in 2018 (not long now)? Perhaps the target is deliveries but with Qatar playing stupid, any metric of that is ruined.

Nobody knows when Airbus will break even, so far the company has said nothing about it. I would not expect Airbus to break even before reaching the target production rate of ten per month, but ... |

Perhaps the target is deliveries but with Qatar playing stupid, any metric of that is ruined. New frames enter the FAL at a rate of seven per month, output now seems to have reached the same pace. I don't know if there is a rate increase just now, but this is the season Airbus usually implements rate increases. If I remember correctly, rate ten is sheduled for year-end 2017 at entry into FAL, Q4 2018 (or maybe year-end 2018) as far as roll-out is concerned. 2019 should be the first full year of production at ten per month. |

So I would assume quite a few frames have entered FAL in the past few weeks but it just has not been updated yet?
