April Summery
More action this month as the production line is speeding up to meet 2009 and 2010 deliveries. I’ve simplified ( improved ? ) the categories shown here.
Major movements were ;
MSN017-EK delivered
MSN027-QF and MSN29-QF flew to XFW
MSN041-LH and MSN051-SQ convoy to TLS
Current situation ( end March figures in brackets )
In service 14 ( 13 )
In production ;
At XFW for outfitting and painting 8 ( 7 )
At TLS for assembly/refit 13 ( 13 )
Parts building 14 ( 11 )
Not yet started / postponed 12 ( 17 )
Airbus ( test and demo ) 2 ( 2 )
Cancelled ( freighters ) 2 ( 2 )
MSN065-SQ has been reported as ‘Parts Building’ so totals have been updated to include all MSNs up to and including this one.
The 35 planes in production are for these customers ;
EK 10, SQ 7, QF 5, AF 5, LH 4, CZ 2, KE 1, VIP 1
The parts for the two CZ planes will probably be redeployed to another MSN.
Deliveries to come are showing as 14 ( total 15 ) in 2009 and 22 in 2010. These look realistic given the current situation.
Thanks to Geoff for the info.
