As I wrote before: the first half of this year lacks of deliveries (only 4 IIRC) and recheck flights. The second half will boom bang bang - good for us spotters with a camera 7 year to date including MSN119 this week. But your argument is still spot on

Not rolled out yet I think MSN132 is now undertaking wing repairs at XFW, probably in one of the two new hangars behind the flight line (or any other bay). MSN132 has been now at XFW since 18 weeks and might roll out in a couple of weeks repaired, in time for an August delivery. MSN133 is now at XFW since 11 weeks, and if following the same path as MSN132, might roll out around the end of Aug/early Sep in time for an October 2013 delivery, repaired. Already repaired, MSN127 is now in its 9th week at XFW and might roll out around by mid-July and will then be ready for a September delivery. MSN134 might follow the same idea (if repaired done still at XFW for those), roll out at 20 weeks around the begining of October, for a delivery around the end of November, repaired. Also MSN135 might follow the same path with a roll out around 20 weeks time/early to mid October, for a delivery repaired in December. [I will support again the idea that MSN123 has not been repaired with only 9 weeksFAL, 14weeksOF and 8weeksCabinTests, MSN121 is now being repaired at TLS and rolled out at XFW at 12 weeks, so not repaired during OF, and MSN095 rolled out at XFW after 20 weeks might or might not have had its wings fixed after OF...... 20-8=12 weeks, it looks to me too quick for a HoV and never reached before by Airbus, fastest HoV at XFW=MSN031=15 weeks+3 days) but how know??...].

I'm lost. I thought those new hangars in XFW were for the A320?

Seems that they are for both A320s and A380s... Fabien

That makes sense, and it explains why the flightline in XFW is almost empty.

The latest EK delivery schedule says a total of 13 deliveries in calendar 2013, which takes the total for all airlines for 2013 back to 25.
