We know that the P&W birds have problems getting engines, but deliveries of the frames with the LEAP engine do not seem to get into gear either. Is the production of the CFM LEAP also slow? After 4 first flights in July, we saw one first flight in August and two this month up to now, and there are also a few LEAP birds standing around and waiting.

Isn't this in keeping with initial ramp-up plans ? |

Six deliveries this month with at least another 2 to follow (Frontier and Spirit), delivery output is clearly improving. The main roadblock still is the lack of an agreement with QR. |

Regarding the engine situation, I think it does not matter at all that Qatar has not started to take its birds. The number of A320 with P&W engines delivered seems to be a function of available engines, not customers prepared to take their frames. At least this way there are fewer annoyed customers waiting for their frames. |

MSN6833 is the only one with a chance being XFW built and already at the cabin fit location. It still has to do its first flight and September only has 5 days left.... They are running out of time, I agree. The jet performed it RTO earlier this month. Normally first flight follows the day after but it never happened. |

Some changes in the storage area  Also interesting that some of the QR A320neo's have moved away from storage. |

I was trying to find out which  A320neo frames are in the background. It was not that simple task at all ...    Mario |

We can forget Spirit, but another one for AirAsia is being delivered right now and VivaAerobus made its first CAF. Together with Frontier, Airbus may end the month with 9 deliveries. |
