Delivery Delayed by 1 year

[AuRod]

I have just been informed by the Australian Agent that my DA62 delivery has pushed out by a year (from Q1 2024) to sometime is 2025.

Has anyone else received similar news and any explanation why?

Amazing that their latest newsletter states how they have just taken an order for 10 DA42's for delivery 2024!

Since I have been following the Diamond the last few years delivery times for the DA42 have always been significantly shorter. I took delivery of a DA42 last year, and part of the reason for choosing DA42 instead of the DA62 was significantly shorter delivery time.

So FWIW it seems that Diamond cannot just shift production capacity back and forth between between DA42 / DA62.

At least some of the composite tooling is shared among the DA62, the DA62-MPP, and the DA50 in Austria.

Mine is (was) due April 24 and I was expecting some news in July but have been deafened by the silence. I will follow up and report back. Sometime in 25 would be pretty dismal.

Fighting chance of Phase III by then or is that expecting to much

In case it helps. I placed my order on July of 2021. My current expected delivery is November / December 2023. So that is about 2.5 years from order date until delivery. When did you place your order?

[AuRod]

Placed my order in Feb 2022.

Hi Rod, assume yours is being built in Austria, do have a serial number?

[AuRod]

Have managed to swap with someone in Australia so just received serial number today of 296.
Don't understand why I couldn't get one when I placed my order in Feb 2022

Thanks Rod, do you have an updated delivery date? My serial is 277 suggested delivery was April 24 but expecting it to slip.
