Airbus has been leaking it our for months that the A350 deliveries are delayed, and not so subtly pointing the blame at Zodiac.
yes, I saw your thread and have read the article. While trying not to read between the lines, my perception is that the LGW route was originally planned for pre-Sept launch if not due to whatever reasons it claims.
I believe CX announced the route in Dec, which I believe they'd have learned of any possible delays by that time. If they were not confident in introducing the A350 to fly the route, they'd have probably not mentioned it in the announcement.
Well, just my 2 cents, or my brain is tricking me coz I just don't want the delay to happen!
