The CEO & president of Airbus Fabrice Bregier has flown onboard a test flight of the A350 XWB MSN1 which lasted around three hours over southern France.
“I am immensely proud to have flown on board the A350 XWB, our latest technology marvel,” said Brégier. “The aircraft is a very smooth ride and I was particularly impressed by the maturity of the aircraft at such an early stage in its life. The new cockpit layout with the large screens and head-up display are amazing and I am confident that pilots are going to love being behind the controls of this machine.”
The wide-bodied aircraft will burn 25% less fuel than any commercial aircraft currently in use and carry between 250-350 passengers.
There are currently 682 aircraft on order.
