Airbus delays delivery of China Airlines’ first A350 XWB
China Airlines, which was scheduled to take delivery of its first Airbus A350 XWB in July, has been informed by the European manufacturer its first aircraft will now arrive at the end of September. Airbus said the delivery delay is the result of a backlog of aircraft ready to enter cabin completion stations on the final assembly line, according to a China Airlines statement. China Airlines previously said it expected delivery of its first aircraft in July to launch nonstop flights from Taipei to European destinations from December 2016. Airbus has expressed apologies to China Airlines and has assured the SkyTeam member it does not expect any further changes to the delivery schedule.<br/>
