Only a backlog of 7 aircraft, and just 18 deliveries between 2007-2014. OEMs usually like to keep a model in production as long as practical to maximize return on their NRE costs. However, when delivery rates decline to levels like that of the AS355NP, the cost of keeping the production line operating becomes excessive.
