Airbus delivers its 500th A350 and unveils its new Production Standard 2022

The 500th A350 - an A350-900 - was recently delivered to Iberia, a major European customer with 20 A350s on order and 14 in service. Beyond a symbol, the 500th A350 marks an important milestone for Airbus and its growing versatile family, now including the A350-900, the A350-1000 and the newest Airbus freighter A350F. With enhanced performance, 25% less fuel burn and CO2 emissions and 50% less noise footprint compared to previous generation aircraft, the A350 family continuously attracts operators 8 years after its entry-into-service offering both high versatility - up to 9,700nm/18 000 km - and efficiency.

Airbus has no intention of further stretching the A350-1000 to bridge the gap to the out-of-production A380. The current size of the widebody aircraft is the right one and needs no extension of the fuselage, the airframer said during an online widebody product presentation on Tuesday. Airbus has no appetite to further stretch the A350.

Cathay favouring Airbus for widely watched freighter deal - sources

Nov 27 (Reuters) - Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd (0293.HK) is leaning towards placing an order for around six Airbus (AIR.PA) A350 freighters as the Hong Kong carrier renews the oldest section of its fleet of dedicated 747 cargo jets, industry sources said.

If confirmed, the selection marks a bounce back for the Airbus wide-body freighter after Cathay earlier this year appeared to favour the competing Boeing (BA.N) 777-8F, before postponing a decision for several months, said the sources, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss confidential matters.
