I’m now expecting 91 to 96 , with 93 or 94 most likely 😩 Geoff When MSN231 goes we will have reached 90 flyaways for the year. Most activity at the Flightline seems to relate to 2019 deliveries and there seem very few candidates for leaving in 2018. I’ve noted the following as possible ; 211, 246, 250, 260, 267 and 268. How many of these do you think will leave TLS before year-end ? Any other possibles ? Geoff |

Geoff, you've missed 226, 245 and 251.
It's very much depending on HNA group, isn't it?
I've received some news from China today, the government backed banks finally joined the HNA rescue mission. Two of the state backed banks led a group of six banks in total have just released 7.5 billions RMB (about 950m euro) to HNA group. This low interest loan is only for aviation operation of HNA group, not allowed to invested in anything else or pay back bank debt.
This explains why HNA suddenly took delivery of five A330s in the past three days.
Sources in Hainan Airlines just told me that the airline is still planning to take four A350s this year, so watch the space, 226 and 245 could leave in the next twelve days.
And also, I think it is public knowledge that HK Airlines prefer A350 over A330, to compete with Cathay Pacific. That explains why they didn't take any of the A330 sitting at TLS. They could take 246, 251 and 260 before year end as well.
Let's count on 31st Dec.

Thanks I was treating those as 2019 deliveries, I’ll add them to my possibles list. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14g-C5laNDt2-63RWcymiWLt02RsKmwTPgB63z2leKvsGeoff |
