Thanks for your answer XWB!  Does anybody know who is the second costumer after Qatar Airways? Airbus has so far been annoyingly thight about the A350 production sequency. Nothing seems to have leaked out, and so far the only thing known is that Qatar is having the first |

In reply to someone. Well we wont have to wait long to find out who will be after Qatar as it will get harder to keep the secret now that sections for msn 7 will be in production surely by August/September before being sent to FAL.

That blog actually contains no new information. The latest issue is a copy of an AW article, with the last sentence (mentioning SQ) quoting a Flightglobal article apparently reserved for subscribers. |

Yes, but will the customers be known because of this? Unless someone at Airbus leeks the info or Airbus publish any? The first unknown, MSN7, isn't likely to enter FAL untill November or December? |

Likely we will see it in FAL in December yes. But they still need to produce the sections well ahead.

I'm pretty sure that sections for MSN5, 6, 7 (and likely even more) are in different stages of pre-assembly.

I have seen photos of sections of both MSN005 and MSN006 in different stages of pre-assembly, so they are certainly coming along soon.
