Stable location 74.4°E has been reached according yesterday's TLE, probably in-orbit testing will start soon.

ABS-2A left the 74.4°E IOT location already on 19 Jan, now near 74.8°E, and will be at 75°E in a few days!

For two successive TLE's, ABS-2A is stable at 74.75°E, this may well be the end location.
The existing ABS-2 is at 74.95°E.

Reason the ABS satellites are still not centering at 75.0°E will probably be MUOS 4 at 75.1°E, an important US Navy comsat.

ABS » Boeing Delivers ABS-2A into Full Operation
Bermuda, January 23rd 2017 – Boeing [NYSE: BA] has delivered ABS-2A, an allelectric propulsion 702 satellite, to ABS which entered into commercial service on January 21st. This is the second of the pair of all-electric satellite Boeing has delivered to ABS. ABS-2A was launched in June 2016 aboard SpaceX Falcon 9 and will provide enhanced satellite communications services, including direct-to-home television services.

Equipped with 48 Ku-band transponders, the satellite will serve ABS’ customers in Africa, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Russia, South Asia and South East Asia regions at 74.725 degrees east.

“We have completed our 3 satellite build investment in launching 3 satellites in 3 consecutive years (ABS-2 in 2014, ABS-3A in 2015 and ABS-2A in 2016). ABS-2A is the latest high-capacity satellite providing expansion capacity and continuity of satellite services at our prime gateway over the Indian Ocean region. It is located with ABS-2 at our premium neighborhood at 75°E, optimized for video services for growing CATV and DTH businesses,” said Tom Choi, CEO of ABS.
