There will be no issue with any airline getting narrow body or widebody aircraft for the next 5 years. You can get anything you want in the time it takes to paint a aircraft. The airlines that might be at a disadvantage are those with large order books at pre covid pricing. Airbus already announced they are going to play hardball and hold airlines to the contracts. It’s a great time to be shopping now and picking up new or used airframes at big discounts.
