When can we expect to see full production of A350 to begin.

From the second half of the year, Airbus is planning to increase the A350 production to 1 frame per month. This means loading 1 new frame every month in the FAL.
MSN2 FAL start is rumored for June 13 and I think MSN4 could be in FAL by the end of July or the beginning of August. Next we have MSN5 in September and MSN6 - the first customer frame for Qatar - could be in FAL around October.
Please not: this all depend on the supply chain.

There is no doubt we are all looking forward to full production. But its just as exciting to see the completion of each aircraft increase with speed.Also i will be interested when they bring out more news on their batching. I plan to fly on their China Airlines a350-900 in early 2016 to Europe. I am hopeful it will be sooner.
Also its wonderful to have so much more going on with the program once we have 1-2 planes in the air/per-flight and 2-3 in construction.

Will A350s accumulate on Flight Lines at Toulouse? If first delivery would be by mid-second-half next year this means around September perhaps, there would be up to between 20 and 25 A350s sitting on the tarmac before deliveries can start??... Fabien  |

Fabien Airbus' ramp up pace seems to be rather conservative and not counting the five test aircraft it will only be around 12-15 aircrafts in TLS assuming two per month in 2014 and September EIS |

That implies that it is unlikely we see a big pile up of aircrafts in TLS before deliveries start and it will only be talking about a handful of aircrafts
