This is becoming a real disaster I'm afraid The plan was not to have many A350s delivered in H1 2016. Airbus is ramping up, so most deliveries will happen in H2. All the planes scheduled for delivery this year are already in the FAL, so Airbus is more or less on track. I cannot see any looming catastrophe. Down doom mongers !! The A350 is a great plane, great potential and a world beater - IMO. Airbus' steady approach has served them in the past - even their suppliers can't knock the image of the best of plane makers

What was the plan? 4 deliveries in may? 3 to go in 7 days... sounds like impossible to me This is becoming a real disaster I'm afraid Two done of three speculated about by us on this blog, and and we could still see the third, as there are 2 working day left in the month. I think your "real disaster" has been averted. Perhaps we call it a mini disaster if MSN21 slips into June. To me it seems that deliveries are becoming steady. 3 frames are in the test flight phase and 4 frames rolled out, waiting for their first flight.

MSN74 now in assembly so there are enough frames in the production process now to meet the Airbus target of 50 deliveries this year. With less than 7 months to the end of the year production times will need to improve substantially.
