If they only get 6 next year then Cathay need to look seriously at their seat suplier. Airbus are building the A350s pretty much to plan albeit a slower ramp up than the 787. Boeing and Airbus both have a bottleneck with cabin equipmemt. I for one expect them to deliver more than 6 to Cathay next year. Maybe not 11 but less than 9 will be a major problem for the cabin supply chain as that would put them 3 months behind schedule..
Either way MAN probably won't go daily for a while sadly but it will still probably happen.
