Probably next customer for A330 neo: www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/55489-frances-xl-airways-considers-fleet-renewal-options"XL Airways France (SE, Paris CDG) is looking at the A330neo from Airbus (AIB, Toulouse Blagnac) for its fleet renewal plans the French leisure specialist's president Laurent Magnin has revealed. Speaking to TourMag last week, Magnin said studies evaluating the type were ongoing alongside those for sister carrier, La Compagnie (B0, Paris CDG), which is looking at the A321neo for its requirements. XL Airways currently operates three A330-200s (average age of 13 years) and one A330-300 (delivered in 2012), all of which are leased from third-party lessors AerCap, GECAS, and Whitney Leasing. Magnin did not disclose timelines for potential deliveries. XL Airways currently specializes in leisure/budget long-haul flights to destinations in the Caribbean, the United States, and the Indian Ocean."

That's 1 year of test flights if first flight happens on early summer, could it be so fast?

I believe Airbus scheduled 9 months for test flying.

Are there any news about the RR neo-engines? Engines will be installed in August. Until then, there's nothing much to report.
