Airbus A350 Plane: Extra Wide Body Plane A350 02/09

The test plane will begin ‘early long flights’ with passengers later this year. The company says it will deliver the first of its new planes to its inaugural customer by the end of 2014. “XWB” means “extra wide body.” Three different iterations of the plane are being built: the A350-800, the A350-900 and the A350-1000, which seat 270, 314 and 350 passengers, respectively, in three-class seating.
