Hmm where did Lufthansa find those 2016 delivery slots? There must be very few LH 2016 slots. These may have been frozen at an early date and reserved for future decisive competitive deals with major customers. Airbus may also factor in an earlier than expected start of deliveries (first delivery to QR has been moved up to Q3 2014 vs H2 2014). Last but not least, overbooking is a widespread practice ... We might have more surprises in the future.

Updated, with info for TAM, TAP and the newly announced Lufthansa order LH is a firm order. From @airbus on Twitter: Airbus @airbus 19 september .@lufthansa's order brings us to over 700 firm orders for our #A350 XWB which will enter into service in 2nd half 2014

It's quite a year for the A350 with 129 firm orders (and 4 cancellations=125 net) which gives the A350, wait for it, 707 orders (no wonder they just said "over 700 firm orders").

Wrong thread ? This one is about deliveries, not about orders.

Wrong thread ? This one is about deliveries, not about orders. It was simply me stating (rather incorrectly) that the Lufthansa order was not yet firmed on the initial post. I thought I would just expand a bit on the correction from peter. (Although I wouldn't mind changing this thread to include orders, considering the information is already there and that orders go hand in hand with deliveries.)

Regarding the production list: Do we know or just assume LN7-9 are all going to Qatar?

It's an assumption.

And the assumption is based on this post from the A350 Production thread EDIT: BTW, 8 & 9 clearly state not confirmed

Starbucks production list reckons that MSN8 will go to SIA. All based on speculation and assumption at the moment... I'm sorry, I don't keep track of where I read everything... But I can't find the link where I read about SIA anymore, taking it off the list for now just to be sure //Edit: Google is your friend Something here made me think MSN8 was for SIA, www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_aviation/read.main/5875398/
