Why would the buy of the A350s be contingent on a Chinese JV?Originally Posted by sailingfun
We still officially have 25 firm orders. Our 11th airframe is scheduled to be the 210th A350 built. As of yesterday they have delivered 70. They plan on production increasing to 80 this year and higher in 2018 however I don't see anyway they will deliver all 25 by 2019 as planned. It does look like UAL will cancel their A350 order so that will move us up some perhaps. If we don't get a agreement on a JV with China it would not surprise me to see the entire order canceled. A fleet of less then 15 makes no sense and they prefer 25 as a minimum.
