Where does that leave the A350? Not in the primary order book for airlines. The 777X, 747, and A-380 are all in the infirmary status where the A-380 became terminal. The 787-8 order book may have a resurgence during these troubled times of pandemic. Fill seats is the 787’s strength while flying to the far reaches of the globe. A 240 seat 787-8 is what the aviation doctor ordered, not the 300 seats A-350 type.
Look to see the next big order being consumed by the airlines ordering the 787 and not the A-350. Its lower risk and higher ROE using the 787 machines is better than the A-350 which has a higher risk basis than the 787.
