Delivery must be near.

Another site is saying that VH-X4C will commence its delivery flights to Australia at midnight on 3rd August AEST (Friday) providing that there are no last minute delays.

An emergency AD has been issued for the A220 by Canada due to a missing pin in the left hand main gear.

Affects X4A and X4B but not X4C, perhaps unsurprisingly since C is still at the factory. Other high MSNs listed on the AD have already been delivered, albeit 55286 was only delivered (to Air Baltic) around 10 days ago.
