MSN 7181 got damaged by a hydraulic "explosion". Instead of repairing, Frontier decided to reject the aircraft. Yes I know, but I mean after that, what did Airbus do with that frame. Stored, trying to repair it, broken up for spares? |

... An A320neo was cancelled this month and there were no reductions in A320neo orders from any customer (apart from IndiGo who converted 5 A320neos to 5 A321neos). There was however an order this month of 1 A320neo from Frontier yet their total number of A320neos ordered remains unchanged at 62. Whoever canceled one A320neo, whether Frontier or another customer, the event should be recorded for consistency. We should see it next month, unless the mistake is in the grand total. |

I am sure it will be repaired eventually - and go to somebody - but will take probably some time.... My guess - IndiGo  |

My guess - IndiGo IndiGo is preferred as too much deferred deliveries, but the shortage was in engine availability, not airframe. My guess is CFM customer will take it, either Vistara or AirAsia. Both openly announced wish to expand faster. |

Great, non-cancelled orders but giving room for hooking potential new customers to sign up to early deliveries (?).
