Indeed this was the last old Polaris delivery. The delay isn't the installs, its the FAA certification of the plane with the new suite configuration. There are two planes on the ramp in CHS done and another one on the assembly line right now. The planes will built and and then once they are certified for passenger use they will show up in rapid succession. Estimated in revenue service by March. Isn't supposed to change how many we get next year (21) but it just changes the timing of them, plus some of the 2025 deliveries are pushed to early next year as well.
