The aircraft has so far not been a strong performer for Delta and dispatch reliability is not meeting expectations.

Airbus is also constructing a pre assembly line in Canada to stuff the shells with more systems prior to them being shipped for final assembly as well as I believe are evaluating adding a second full production line in Mobile
Also I don’t think we are taking anyone else’s planes, but rather we are potentially leasing planes from Azorra.

Currently, between Canada and Mobile, the 220 production rate is at 6 aircraft a month, however, they are not delivery 6 aircraft a month. By 2025, they want production to be at 14 aircraft a month, with 10 of those coming from the Canada lines and 4 on the A320 line in Mobile.
