It's tight but not undouable, we have seen the same last year. This is the current status of those frames:
> MSN131 - TG (rolled out)
> MSN133 - EK (rolled out)
> MSN134 - EK (rolled out)
> MSN135 - EK (rolled out)
> MSN138 - EK (cabin fit finished, being painted)
> MSN139 - EK (rolled out)
> MSN140 - EK (undergoing cabin installation, already painted)

Today news reports emerged about Airbus CEO Bregier saying he thinks this year 25 A380's will be delivered. Is he right? Early this year Airbus said this year would see delivery of only 20, because of the integration of the new wing design in the production process. Today Oct 29 saw delivery of no 18 of this year. To reach 25, Bregier needs 7 more. Which ones? For sure MSN131, 133, 134, 135 and 144. But also 138 and 140?. That makes 5 to 7 max = 23-25 in all. Or have I forgotten one? I thought 144 was due either January or February 2014? |

The original target was 21, but Airbus made good progress in the wing modification and was able to pull 4 frames forward.

That makes nine EK frames in Hamburg at one time. Quite an interesting fact. |
