I believe once they left TLS and handed over to Airbus Defence, they are off the O&D book. Because in the delivery tag of the O&D spreadsheet, Airbus records the date of each frame flying to Airbus Defence in Spain as delivery date. Yeah the O&D only includes Commercial Aircraft. Airbus keeps a separate track of all the Military Deliveries, which I think is only updated every quarter on the website. This has been widely discussed many times already on various forum, when the frame is in TLS, Airbus is only building an usual A330-200 frame (without most of interior fitting obviously), that's why they are showing in Airbus O&D Commercial Aircraft spreadsheet every month. Only when they've been delivered to Airbus Defence, they are fitted to become MRTT. |

Assuming that was the 4 frames added in June O&D spreadsheet. There were 5 in the order book previously, we know one for Saudi (MSN2060), one for NATO (MSN2072) and one for RCAF (MSN2091). What are the remaining 2 belong to? MSN 2043 for NATO ? MSN 2036 UAE ? Or are these already off the order books ? I believe once they left TLS and handed over to Airbus Defence, they are off the O&D book. Because in the delivery tag of the O&D spreadsheet, Airbus records the date of each frame flying to Airbus Defence in Spain as delivery date. |
