thread_title:  -800 

message: 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.

thread_title:  Date of Orders 

message: According to the US Airways press release  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)
replies: text: 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. Nick Moss 13:10, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: 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)

text: Read the entire Airbus press release, it certainly mentions firm orders for 92 aircraft. AnAnonymousLogin 14:11, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It reads to me as if the agreement covers 92 firm orders, but the agreement has yet to be concluded. In other words, when it is concluded, there will be 92 firm orders. It is a bit of a technicality. Best thing to do I guess is wait until the June spreadsheet comes out, and see what it has on it. Nick Moss 22:25, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This Seattle PI article says the US Airways orders are not firm, and the firm total currently stands at 134. "But as of Thursday, the firm order count for the A350 XWB was at 134, with another 98 commitments. The best-of-show orders came from Qatar Airways, for 80 planes, and US Airways, for 22. But the US Airways order is not yet firm." I'm pretty sure I've seen the 134 number in other articles too. I'm going to return the US Airways order to the pending in light of this.

thread_title:  US order 

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)

text: They haven't been removed, they are orders for the original A350 and not the XWB, and remain to be converted or canceled by the end of the year. 87.194.205.206 (talk) 18:24, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Missing order? 

message: I am not entirely familiar with what the difference is between the wikitable format that has just been put on the page, and the previous format which was being used. Perhaps someone could explain it briefly for those of us who arent completely 'wikiliterate'. As long as it gives the same functionality, whichever is easier to edit should be used - looking at the coding format, i'm having difficulty seeing much in the way of obvious differences. Whichever format is used, would it be possible to keep the previous colour layout of primarily white and grey? In my opinion, it is much easier on the eyes than the new green and yellow one, and I think the pink shading was a better way of noting non-firm orders than an asterisk, particularly when there will need to be other notations (cancelled orders, converted options, etc such as on the List of Boeing 787 orders). Also, is it possible to keep the names of the customers left-justified? In my opinion (again), it looks tidier than centre justification for that purpose.--Nick Moss 09:00, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure there is any moral ground in using wikitable over toccoloros, like NM says, both do the job. However, I was getting bored with the old style and think it was time for a change. Please can we not use this as a catalyst to standardise all the aircraft pages as standardisation stifles creativity. Gerbilface 12:38, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  This table format doesn't seem to work well with displaying things like total orders (firm and not firm) at the bottom of the table. Displaying those two is important for an aircraft with so few firm orders. 69.22.218.109 18:22, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Why did 203.177.247.116 removed a "Possible future orders" section from the 787 page and added it t the A350 page?  The section talks about both airplanes.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikedz (talk • contribs) 14:33, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible future orders 

message: I have amended the first two sections of this page to show firm orders clearer - the first section should not include commitments as its a total of firm orders only as per its title, and as such I have removed those from the figures, and I have added two totals rows to the XWB order table to break down the order figures into firm and commitments for easier reference.  I hope everyone agrees with these actions. 87.194.205.206 (talk) 18:11, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have just reverted an edit on this section because I personally feel that that version conveyed the orders status in a muddled manner - this section was meant to clearly and concisely show the current status of the A350XWB order book - this means firm orders only, with conversions taken into mind as they will be counted as cancellations at the end of the 2007 order year.  If people want to play the pure numbers game and count commitments into the bargain as well (which is pretty meaningless), then all they have to do is look a short way down the page for one of the totals rows in the main order list, but there is absolutely no where on the page that tells the true orders story as it currently stands - and that must include cancellations of the previous variant through conversions to the XWB. 87.194.205.206 (talk) 20:10, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I tried.  Someone has just reverted it back to the original crap with no reason which is absolutely and utterly pointless - the information shown is incomplete and gives a false representation of the order situation for the A350 as it firstly shows commitments, which is pointless as they aren't worth anything, and secondly it does not take into account conversions.  I give up. 87.84.139.34 15:49, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Firm Orders 

message: There seems to be a bit of confusion over the Kingfisher order. The reference for the order from June 2007 states it is for 20 A350s (15 plus the 5 converted from the original order), however Airbus' latest O&D spreadsheet from July 2008 still shows only 5 A350-800s on order for Kingfisher. Given this seems to be the later material, I have reverted the change from 5 to 20 orders. If there is any further information about this order which clarifies what is going on, it would probably be useful as an additional source. --Nick Moss (talk) 10:00, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Airbus Press release only talks about a Memorandum of Unterstanding (MoU), that's not an order in the books. Therefore it was wrong to inlude these "orders" until they are finalized and shown in the books. It's OK to remove them. --Denniss (talk) 10:48, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I moved the Kingfisher "order" to commitments, Airbus doesn't count this as a firm order yet, it is a MOU, also a commitment. Only then does the table show the same total of 447 A350 orders. Please see under http://www.airbus.com/en/presscentre/ "key documents" "A350 XWB orders".

thread_title:  Cathay Pacific new orders 

message: A few months back, it is known that Singapore Airlines have increased their orders for A350XWB from 20 to 40, whilst adding another 20 options, while transferring the orders for 20 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircrafts to its low-cost subsidiary Scoot.
However, it seems the orders for SIA's 40 A350-900 + 20 options haven't been updated. This is contrary to what is stated on Singapore Airlines' own wiki page, and on Airbus' website. See here: http://www.airbus.com/presscentre/pressreleases/press-release-detail/detail/singapore-airlines-to-order-more-a380s-and-a350-xwbs/

message: Take Afriqiyah Airways order for example, according to the dates listed the made an order for 6x A350-800 on 20 June 2007.
Then on 1 October 2012 they changed their order to 10xA350-900 (dropping the order for 6x A350-800) - This would amount to a total of 10 aircraft being purchased, whereas 
this crazytable states 4, because it (well, correctly) assumes (-6)+(10)=4, without taking into account the previous +6 ie. (6-6)+(10)=10

replies: text: I've made an attempt to fix this. Instead of having one row for each order/cancellation, there is now simply one row per customer. That way, the sorting works again (previously, if you sorted by -800 orders for example, you'd have got Qatar and US Airways at the top, despite the fact that those orders were later cancelled). To preserve the historical information, such as the general "migration" of orders to larger models, I added a Notes column with these details. My assumption is that the readers' main interest will be the current order situation, not the history of individual orders. I've checked the row and column totals, and they are ok. The one thing I have not checked is completeness: in particular, I think a row should be added for "Undisclosed / Government / VIP" customers, but I have no idea how many orders there are. Someone more familiar with the Airbus corporate website might have a look at this. HAdG (talk) 12:48, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi. The page is only updated monthly on the basis of official Airbus O&D data. There is no point in having 'newer' information about one airline at a different date but not all the others too. Be patient and when Airbus update their info to 31 October 2015 the Finnair delivery will be reflected. Other airlines like Qatar Airways and Vietnam Airlines did not get special treatment on this page the moment their aircraft were delivered and Finnair should not either. Wikipedia is not a news service - WP:NOTNEWS. Thanks. @SempreVolandoSempreVolando (talk) 12:49, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

text: It isn't an issue that it mustn't be updated more than once a month, it's an issue that there is only one reliable source for O&D data for all Airbus A350 orders and deliveries, and that is the Airbus data itself which is only updated and published once a month. The page clearly states at the bottom of each table the source and date (As of 30 September 2015). Having one entry which does not correspond invalidates the entire table. If the date is changed to state, for example, As of 10 October 2015, there are then 45 missing references for the other customers whose data is not sourced at that date. We have a reliable source for all Airbus A350 orders and deliveries updated on a monthly basis and that resolves this issue. In the first few days of November, Airbus will update their O&D data at 31 October 2015 and the page will be updated again, for all carriers - not just Finnair. If you can find a reliable source for all A350 orders and deliveries at 10 October 2015, please share it. SempreVolando (talk) 13:16, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I can understand that quarrels around the updates here. Just to say when an airline in Europe acquires finally a new A350 it should be updated soonest. This what I did. Cruks (talk) 13:17, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  I couldn't care less. I know for sure that Finnair has taken delivery of the A350-900 from Airbus.  It has even flown with passengengers into Schipol Airport (AMS).  If  @SempreVolando is happy with dispensing erroneous information in Wikipedia then let him do so.  It is a pity that this fact won't be shared with the thosuands of users of Wikipedia until November who will believe that that information is correct when it is NOT.  After all it is only one lousy airplabe that costs only $305,000,000 and it only means that there are 16.7% more airplanes of that variant delivered.  Not a big deal. Rudy235 (talk) 02:31, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

text: I don't care for this approach either - you potentially are providing erroneous information for up to a month.  I cited an Airbus press release in my edits for the United conversion back to -900's - how is that not as authoritative as their O&D data?  I can understand edits based on rumors being reverted, but I think some better judgement needs to be applied here.Dennypayne (talk) 12:41, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

text: Don't mix up Wikipedia with a local newspaper reporting every delivery within a day. The data is correct per the referenced manufacturer data, what happens inbetween their monthly updates is irrelevant. --Denniss (talk) 18:54, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

message: US Airways ceased to exist as of October 17. All of its aircraft, operations, and legal obligations are now a part of American Airlines. A recent Airbus press release refers to the former US Airways order for 22 A350-900 thusly: "U.S-based American Airlines will acquire 22 A350-900 aircraft". It therefore seems that the Airbus OD is perhaps a less-than-best source. While I agree with the decision to use the OD as the base document, the official statements of Airbus and the lack of existence of US Airways seem like sufficient justification to rename that order.--Donpedronogal (talk) 09:43, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
