I just wonder when this one will have real EIS ? There was so many dates in the past..... Well, likewith the A380, A350, CSeries, 747-8, 787, Comac 919, ARJ, etc etc....the EIS keeps being pushed to the right Agree - just concerning A350 there was not so many shifts to the right - A350 is sort of exception. |

OK - but in 2009 they made a schedule and since then we can observe they stick to it. Considering the last two years - there was not a single delay worth mentioning.
If we look at all the others - even in stages of assembly of first piece and testing there were looooong shift "to the right".

If I remember correctly, there were two delays in recent year, the first was a 6 month delay in 2011 (I think) and the second one was a 3 month delay in mid 2013 related to problems with drilling holes in the wings. Of course, when compared to most other recent programs, they've done pretty well. |

The two or three months lost mid-2013 for drilling problems did not translate into a program delay, either because there was enough slack in the schedule, or because the lost time was somehow offset.

I do not remember any significant delay in 2011 - but - I will try the NET. I could have forget. Philidor agree - the dates which were declared something like 2011/2012 are more -less still valid. OK we will know when the real EIS will be and let's hope U-turn Al would not create delays. EDIT here is one of the 2011 articles: airinsight.com/2011/11/10/airbus-announces-delay-to-a350-program/#.VAIpffmKWm4So the schedule declared there is more-less still valid after 3.5 year which is unheard of. |

So 1½ year delay if first delivery before new year? (H2 2014 instead of H1 2013) |
