Based on the convoys so far this year and the short-term demand from the airlines to fulfill orders, I'm expecting 24 to 28 deliveries in 2011 and slightly more in 2012. Anyway, SQ's last WhaleJet is currently scheduled for delivery in January 2012.
Most airlines in the market for VLAs seem to be waiting for Boeing's immanent announcement regarding the future of the 777-300ER. We may see a new round of WhaleJet orders next year if airlines are disappointed with the Boeing announcement and that might justify a production rate of 36 WhaleJets per year.
