According to that, they'll have 15 A220s by the end of the 2022. Have they taken delivery of any units beyond the first one they got yet? I can't imagine Airbus us going to be able to produce them faster than expected. Is there actually serious talk of shutting down to hire and train more pilots? I can't imagine the investors will be happy about that.
One per month is an average. There should have been three delivered by end of 2021, but issues at the plant has kept numbers 2/3 from being delivered to date. So those planes will be moved into the future for delivery, but there are still 5 other planes already being worked on within the production process that will support the 1 per month average into the future. We will have a few months this year where we take two instead of one per month. Now that doesn’t mean the 15 couldn’t slip to a lower number if future planes have issues, but as of right now, 15 is the number to end 2022 at with A220s.
