Even though Singapore is clearly identified, could this also related to Japan Airlines? Their designation of 942..

This is interesting, though in my opinion it must be taken with a heap of salt, for the following reasons. - The article is about cargo, A350s being cursively mentioned in one sentence only, so that the reasons for a possible A350 purchase are not articulated. - The article says the project depends on a board decision ... - Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Poland has been closely aligned with the United States, a policy that is being pursued as a deterrent to a possible Russian intervention. As a consequence, the country mainly buys American aviation products. - LOT's fleet choices have been a good illustration of the above. |

hwy guys, when the Wings are delivered, are they shipped with a pair of belugas, flying from point A to Point B? or each wing is delivered at separate times i.e. day apart? The reason i am asking is, I want to know how close the wing plants are to producing the wings fast enough for them to be shipped in pairs.

The wings in Broughton are already available to be picked up in pairs or fours ! But the current Beluga can only do one at a time to Bremen, XL will be able to do two at a time. |

ok cool. I thought they were just finished as they could be transported. Being that they will be transported in pair before years end. do you thin Airbus will revise the manufacturing process to have more work done at a single plant, to minimize the travelling between sites/plants? in my head, it seems like the next logical step. but.. i am very ignorant of the manufacturing processes and limitations.
Thanks

Thanks The change from Beluga to Beluga XL aka from transporting wings one at a time to two at a time, should have no influence on production. Just the number of needed flights will go down. All A350 wings are produced at the same factory in Broughton and all A350 wings are than transported to Bremen for the high lift devices, before they fly to Toulouse. |

If the current limitation was a Beluga-limited no. of flights which otherwise could transfer more parts to FAL Toulouse then if the inputs for increased FAL assembly are possible in Toulouse this would follow wouldn't it with the increased capacity of Belugas?

There was no current limitation in that way. Broughton produces 10 A350 wing sets a month and the Beluga transports them. Yes, the whole transport system is expanding and that is why Airbus builds the Beluga XL. Same capacity with fewer flights or more capacity with the same number of flights. But there are a lot more things transported than A350 wings. |
