And the fact that we're fully prepared, that we're already close to end of October.
And the fact that one of the reasons for being backloaded is the lack of availability of engines for our single aisle.
We were with 60 gliders yesterday.
Mid-year, we closed the third quarter in down to 32 gliders, and we think we're going to have the engines we need to deliver those planes before the end of the year.
So it's indeed a lot of work in the last quarter of the year, but we think we have the ingredients, we're prepared to come close to the 820 deliveries we have guided for.
The majority of what we're delivering are the A320 family aircraft.
And indeed, for those aircraft, the main bottleneck is the engine, is the engine availability from both CFM and Pratt.
We were with a very difficult situation at mid-year.
Things are improving.
We think we're going to reach our numbers, as I said before, for 2025.
But we will have persisting tensions on availability of engine in 26 and maybe in 27 as well.
Not to a major extent.
We are not significantly exposed to this situation.
Again, the main challenges we have are really on the delivery of aircraft, not on the certification of them.
We have recently certified, I mean, last year, the XLR that's behind us.
And the XLR, the A321 XLR is a great airplane.
It is now in service.
That's behind us.
And the next certification moving forward will be for the A350 freighter.
But that's not today a short-term bottleneck.
