A350 Family. The A350 is a family of wide-body aircraft, designed to typically accommodate between 300 and 410 passengers. The A350 offers enhanced cabin features, Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines, advanced aerodynamics and systems technology, with more than 50% composite materials in the fuselage structure. The A350’s main competitors are the Boeing 787 and 777 aircraft series. Initial delivery of the A350-900 variant took place in December 2014 to Qatar Airways. With the Ultra-Long Range (ULR) version of the A350-900 launched in 2015, the A350 demonstrated its versatility by offering the capability to perform flights of up to 19 hours. The first A350-900 ULR was delivered in September 2018 to Singapore Airlines. Highlighting the type flexibility, Airbus delivered the first A350-900 Domestic to Japan Airlines during 2019.

Partnering the A350-900 is the seven metre longer A350-1000, which was delivered to its first customer, also Qatar Airways, in February 2018. Offering additional capacity for both passengers and cargo without compromising on range, the A350-1000 is the ideal replacement for previous generation aircraft in the 350-400 seat capacity market. In 2021, Airbus launched the A350F freighter offering three tonnes more payload and more range than a competing 777F. With unbeatable efficiency in terms of fuel burn, CO 2 emissions and economics, the A350F is the only freighter capable of meeting the latest ICAO requirements. At the end of 2022, the total orders for the A350 Family stood at 925 aircraft, including 35 for the A350F. With 521 aircraft having been delivered, including 60 during the year, the backlog stood at 404 aircraft.

A380. The double-deck A380 is the world’s largest commercial aircraft flying today. Its cross-section provides flexible and innovative cabin space, tailored to the needs of each airline. The aircraft is capable of carrying over 500 passengers in a comfortable four-class configuration over a range of 8,000nm / 14,800km.

The final five deliveries of the A380 took place during 2021 but the aircraft is likely to remain in service with its customer airlines well into the next decade.
