Here's the updated model. Notes: Two orders for A350-900s 49 deliveries, comprising six A220-300; 18 A320neo; 23 A321neo; 2 A330-900; one A350-900; one A350-1000 (final BA from initial order). By comparison, February 2023 had 46 deliveries. Order backlog 8,552 If 2024 feels slow, it is in terms of orders. Production, as seen above, is slightly up.
