Airbus still has four non-XWB customers to sign up for the ''new'' version. Bangkok Airways has indicated that discussions are taking place with Airbus to convert their original MOU into a firm order.
The remaining airlines have yet to announce their intentions. The less likely customer to convert their original order is GECAS, as GE is currently not an option on the A350XWB.
If any of the information is not accurate, please fell free to inform.

Thanks WINGS and Moo.
This is a topic that will be visited alot duing 2008 (atleast by me).
2008, I suspect, will be an awesome year for the A350.
I hope for more orders especially for the -1000 series.
Think if SAS would get some A350's to replace their A330's and A340's. I'd be a faithfull customer.

After seen that 3 of the deals confirmed in recent weeks have delivery dates for 2017 I'm wondering what the status of the earlier slots are. If they are almost full, I think that we have to wait a bit, because I don't think that any airline is willing to wait 10 years ifor a new plane Don't you think?

Someone mentioned that AB has set a deadline of the end of this year for the outstanding XNB orders to be cancelled or converted so I guess that we're going to see something from Air Europa and EuroFly in the coming couple of weeks - I wouldn't be suprised if Europa cancelled as they did state that that they were reassessing the requirement and looking at the 787.

I wonder how they class such orders as Kingfishers, which are firm for the A350 for 5 frames, but unfirm for the XWB for 20 frames...

Airbus still lists 5 A350's for Kingfisher, although they have signed a MOU for the conversion of those 5 A350's + 15 A350XWB's.
As you can see I have listed Kingfisher as currently a MOU/LOI.
Airbus Chief Operating Officer John Leahy signs a document at a ceremony in Hanoi December 21, 2007
National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines is set to sign a contract to buy 10 Airbus A350-900XWB passenger jets and 20 single-aisle A321 jets today.
“This is part of the agreement reached earlier,†an official of the Hanoi-based carrier told Reuters Thursday.
In early October, the airline signed a draft agreement to buy the 30 Airbus aircraft during a visit to Paris by Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung.
The Airbus deals are worth $3.8 billion at list prices, including US$2.4 billion for the crucial A350 order where the competition between Boeing and Airbus is at its fiercest.
Vietnam Airlines, under pressure to keep up with demand as the southeast Asian country’s economy grows at more than eight percent a year and tourism and trade with it, has 46 aircraft but wants to increase that to 86 by 2015.

Quoting WINGS (Reply 8): 10 Airbus A350-900XWB passenger jets
So that would mean that Airbus now has 308 firm-orders for the A350.
Good numbers.
I wonder if there will be a rush of firming up during the next 10 days now.

It's high time Aer Lingus firmed their order and I'd like to see the TAM order finalised. The others - such as Hawaiian, Grupo Marsans, DAE, China Airlines - may have to wait till 2008.
Do we expect the two Libyan orders to appear on the December spreadsheet?
