it says three of the 787-10s still outstanding will arrive in 2023 with two coming in 2024.

Does anyone know if that’s correct? I thought 2024 would see all five delivered before the newly ordered six come in 2025 and 2026….

I think 3 new B781 deliveries before yearend would be pushing it for a manufacturer that has had the FAA and airlines looking over every piece of their work for the last 2yrs.
From looking at production lists online, I can see LN1164 (for Korean Air) entered Final Production on June 10th, and still has not been rolled out. BA’s next aircraft are LN1185 / LN1193 and LN1197. Assuming we just look at Charleston produced aircraft - there are 7 aircraft ahead of it to be produced and with essentially only 4 months of the year left to produce all of them ahead of LN1185 (and LN1164 has spent over 2 months in final production), I think the noted (Wiki) February and April delivery spots for these next 3 aircraft would fit with the current production rate.
