To my surprise there is no thread about Etihad A350s despite them being the 3rd biggest customer.
According to the production list the first A35K is suppose to arrive sometime in 2019 (MSN300). I was under the impression that they were getting A359 in 2018 but this might have changed.
I couldn't find anything official from Etihad about their fleet plan, they are quite opaque about everything after all. Would anyone have any information?

How can be MSN330 delivered later 2018?
Or it is a mistake, or the MSN330 will be pushed forward by a year... Asuming 100 A350 delivered this year, that means that AB will reach about MSN270-280... or even less, because there are a lot of QR frames in between.

The production list says the first A350 for EY is MSN290 ! |

The production list says the first A350 for EY is MSN290 ! Yes, but it is a A35K, the guy in the other thread is talking about A359 |

Being a HoV I'd imagine MSN 290 might be a bit ahead of the assembly sequence.

So then the point is how many A35K will AB deliver this year. MSN290 is the 20th A35K in the production list, and Virgin HoV has a previous slot.
I guess that it is almost imposible that Etihad receives its first A350 in 2018.
