They will stick to -8 and -9 due to "Chinese Good Luck" numerology. I think it's a silly reason to do so. It's not like they won't fly the aircraft if it didn't. I hear 4 is not a good number in China, yet they went on to place an order for the 747 despite the availability of the A3 80.  |

Ah, but... 7 47- 8 => neutral  A3 80- 800 => 2x lucky  while... 7 47- 400 => 2x unlucky  |

About 6 A330s in storage, that's more than half a month of production.

Seems like 13 A330s was delivered November, although we need to wait for the official number, this mean some of the lag has been caught up

'Looking like Boeing is planning (hoping) to deliver 20 787s in December.'

There were only 6 787 deliveries in November, the missing 4 will also help the December deliveries.
