By the way, current backlog for #A350 is 880 aircraft.

And Airbus told customers (some months ago) to expect #A350 handover delays for the remainder of the decade due to ongoing fuselage component shortages, manufactured at Kingston 🇺🇸 facilities acquired from Spirit AeroSystems

"The decision for an increased rate on the #A350 is inevitable. We're going to do it because the market clearly demands ​more aircraft," said Airbus Commercial CEO Wagner.

"This is ​going to happen rather sooner than later."

Where do you think that 2nd FAL [Final Assembly Line] for #A350 would be located?

[A350Blog @A350Blog]

Airbus has 1 FAL Final Assembly Line for #A350 at Toulouse 🇫🇷 designed for a maximum rate of 13 aircraft x month.

And all the preFALs in 🇬🇧 🇪🇸 🇩🇪 with the same max. rate 13.

Going +rate13 would need new industrial system (Tier1-preFALs) and a new FAL.

@RollsRoyce Which airlines are those who are demanding the #A350-2000?

@emirates already flies the A350-900 but has skipped the A350-1000 so far over engine concerns.

[A350Blog @A350Blog]

Airbus Commercial CEO, L.Wagner; "The market is demanding a longer and stretched #A350. We obviously don't want the launch to be at the end of a 5-year time frame. We decide when we have a business-case and when we go for approval to the board, ... but it won't be 2030."

[A350Blog @A350Blog]

A stretched #A350 would need a new engine for propulsion.

@RollsRoyce previously said that a stretch to the aircraft type would need up to 7️⃣ years of engine development time.

@Frenchpainter @flightradar24 Flutter tests on #A350F coming up with MSN700.

These flight vibration tests will take the aircraft up to its maximum dive speed and Mach (VD/MD), marking the final steps before the #A350F is cleared for service entry.
