A350 Deliveries and Routes

9V-SMS (#19) completed her First Flight yesterday, just 10 days after rolling out onto the Flight Line. I can't recall another SQ frame completing her First Flight so soon after Roll Out. SMS is also the first SQ A359 frame without the SQ logo on the tail before painting. Talk is that she will be flown to XFW to be painted, also a first for a SQ frame. At the rate she is moving along the production line, 9V-SMS could be delivered at the end of November. 9V-SMT (#20) is expected to be rolled out onto the Flight Line sometime next month.

Thanks for the pictures and updates SQKevin. Looks great so far.

IIRC, I thought at one point I saw pics but not real images of Airbus aircraft (like the 380) that had a Star Alliance Livery. Let's keep our hopes up.

MSN216 will be the first A359ULR and will feature new winglets.

In the unofficial A350 production list, after SMU, the next 7 SQ birds are all ULR versions.
And they span 7 of the 29 frames Airbus will build in that time. (assuming they're all built in sequence)
Assuming they build 13 planes a month as planned, that's just about 2.5 months to deliver all 7.
That would be really something
It also list Oct '18 as 1st ULR delivery

Originally posted by SQfanatic View PostThe way you're saying it so far, SMS could be delivered by the end of this month and SMT by the end of December. That would then conclude 20 longhaul A350's. I wonder when the 359ULR deliveries will begin.
SMU is currently in Station 30 of the FAL and will emerge fully assembled sometime this month or next. She still has to undergo cabin & engine fitting and Painting, which will take a month and a half, before she goes into pre-flight and flight testing. She is expected to be delivered in March 2018.
