September was a good month, with a grand total (71 deliveries) very close to Airbus' targeted yearly average. Widebody deliveries stand out (16 is an excellent monthly total). A220 numbers are improving, while A320 family deliveries are still slowish. Airbus' year-end push must start soon if the airframer is to meet its yearly guidance. I noticed that in its latest release Airbus doesn't break down A320 family numbers by sub-type, so that some digging will be needed to check whether A321neo production seems to be improving. Regarding the 12 A321neo in the September deliveries, there were 3 standard and 9 ACF. |

Okay, you start digging and the rest of us will lean back and double click the Excel-sheet  Well, as I only read the release, opening the Excel table is what I meant by digging ...  |

Airbus cuts full-year aircraft delivery forecast 30 October, 2019 SOURCE: FlightGlobal.com BY: David Kaminski-Morrow London www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/airbus-cuts-full-year-aircraft-delivery-forecast-461883/Airbus has cut its commercial aircraft delivery forecast to 860 aircraft, down from the previous 880-890, as it continues to deal with production ramp-up on its single-aisle lines...Chief executive Guillaume Faury says the company is "focused" on A320neo ramp-up and "improving the industrial flow" while managing the "higher level of complexity" associated with its reconfigured A321neo. This A321neo programme "remains challenging", says the manufacturer, but it expects further ramp-up of output during the fourth quarter...Airbus says, however, that efforts will be "continuing throughout 2020" to improve the "industrial maturity" of the A321neo programme, and it is still looking at options to increase the share of production capacity of the larger model...Airbus has also progressed with A330neo ramp-up – the re-engined type accounted for 26 of the 34 A330 deliveries in the first nine months – and the airframer says it is bringing recurring A350 cost convergence into line and is "on track" to reach break-even targets for the year. |

From the above Flightglobal story :
"the airframer says it is bringing recurring A350 cost convergence into line and is on track to reach breakeven targets for the year".
I fail to understand what the first part of the sentence ('bringing recurring A350 cost convergence into line') means. A better brain must be required ...

I fail to understand what the first part of the sentence ('bringing recurring A350 cost convergence into line') means. A better brain must be required ... recurring expenses are expenses that come up not only once. They can be time related like rental cost or production related like materials. They can be both count as fixed cost or variable cost. The easy translation would be that Airbus is still in the process of lowering production cost on the A350 in very convoluted speech. |

The unclear notion, in my opinion, is that of 'cost convergence'. Does it mean that costs are getting progressively closer to the targets set by Airbus ?
