The data I had must have been from early August, as there are now 7.
Air Asia took their first first on Sept 7 and now has two, both CFM powered.
Interesting Latam took their P&W power First Neo August 30 and have not taken any more. Aercap delivered their first to Volaris Sept 12. Go air took their first in June and only have 2.
Along with the startup issues, and subsequent hydraulic issues which are believed to be fixed, Qatars frustration has also been with engine cooling issues overall (this was part of the startup problem), which obviously affects them more than most airlines.
