This mens that there will go FIVE years before all the current A350, A380 and B777 aircraft are equipped with QSuites. Then it will be time to start thinking about the B787s, and possibly the A330s!
AAB's statements at the press conference were different. First, he said that retrofitting will take place at two locations, -- the QR base at DOH and an unspecified contractor base in Europe. To me, that would indicate more than one/month. Also, he said that the entire retrofitting program would be complete within 2018. Perhaps there were additional developments after the script/press release were written.
