An order for 9 new 321s start arriving this fall and into early 2016. This new order, for 10 additional 321s and 2 320s are coming in 2016 and 17.
There is also an order for 80 320 NEOs that should come later next year

Yes, the 320NEO order is the one I'm referring to. There is no order schedule I can find and there are never any updates on it. The 101 aircraft within 5 years mentioned in the article doesn't add up if these 80 NEO's are included? Granted it could just be reporter error?

But, maybe they do have a tentative delivery schedule. I've never been able to find it. I also have no idea the rate of deliveries. One a month? Two a month? No clue. It may also depends on how quickly they can ramp up production at the new factory.

Don't forget that F9 has Leap X 1a motors on their NEO's as opposed to the PW NEO's. This was a requirement from GE as a quid pro quo for renegotiating existing leases during the F9 restructuring. The PW NEO has been flying since September of 2014. The Leap X NEO just had its maiden flight on May 19th, 2015.
The Leap X is scheduled to be certified in mid 2016. Hopefully there are no delays in the delivery schedule.

Also, did anyone catch if this new order is for CEOs or NEOs? I read a few articles, and none of them specified.
