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. During 2023, Airbus received 300 gross orders for the A350 Family of aircraft (of which 15 freighters) and 281 net orders, 64 aircraft having been delivered. At the end of 2023, the total orders for the A350 Family stood at 1,206 aircraft, including 50 for the A350F. With 585 aircraft having been delivered the backlog stood at 621 aircraft.
