I suppose MSN 12 will be one of the first deliveries of 2016.

I don´t think they will be able to deliver it befor 1st Jan. It´s still not rolled out and just 3 weeks to go till 1st Jan... EDIT: And of course it is a Qatar Airways frame... ;-) |

so in that case, the article which cites the delivery of the 8th aircraft in december is not correct

So, either this is an error based on outdated schedules, or Airbus and QR are set to pull a miracle as I imagined ...

The only thing I know is that MSN12 had its engines and cabin installed before paint, so it can move directly to the flight line (hangar) after paint roll out.

As we know from past years various unexpected things do happen around Xmas   As it looks unprobable I still do believe in 16 deliveries.... |

It depends on how quickly Airbus can fly the airplane once it emerges on the flight line.
Normally the A350s fly two weeks after rolling out to the flight line.
