Date of Orders

I just updated the table to reflect the firming of the Qatar order, which leads me to this question - should the date be the date the order was first announced, or the date it was firmed? I have used the date which it was firmed (i.e. today), but I am unsure whether this is the best way to do it, and whether it reflects practice in similar tables for the 787 and A380.

US order

According to the US press release [1] the A350 order is firm and includes both -800 and -900 variants. Any idea how they are distributed? -- 195.197.175.20 12:55, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's strange, because according to the Airbus press release they have only come to terms of agreement, which "is contingent upon execution of definitive purchase agreements, expected in the coming weeks." Actually, looking at the US Airways press release, it says the same thing - it does not seem to be a firm agreement just yet, although evidently it is just a matter of concluding the fine print. The Airbus press release does differ however in that it says the agreement covers 22 A350-800s, as opposed to a mix of -800s and -900s in the US Airways release.

The first line in the US press release says: "Airline positioned to take delivery of 60 replacement narrowbody A320 family of airplanes beginning in 2010 Deal includes firm orders for 32 widebody aircraft including 22 A350 XWBs Affirms US Airways' fleet of modern aircraft for the future while reducing fleet types and complexity". Strange indeed. -- 195.197.175.20 13:27, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Read the entire Airbus press release, it certainly mentions firm orders for 92 aircraft. AnAnonymousLogin 14:11, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

TAP Portugal Order - Firm or Not?

I just realised that up until today, the number of firm orders for the A350XWB was regularly stated as being 13. If that was the case, it would imply TAP's order isn't firm yet. Can anyone clear that up? Nick Moss 13:34, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, looking at the Airbus order spreadsheet, it seems as though TAP has 10 orders A350, but they were not placed in 2007. Given the order noted here for the A350XWB isn't noted on Airbus's current year totals, I am going to mark it as non-firm. Nick Moss 13:43, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Missing order?

On Airbus's site, I see an order not listed here from today. Is there a reason it has not been included? I don't feel confident enough in myself to change it. :P
