TOULOUSE, France - The A350-900 destined for delivery to Qatar Airways has successfully completed its maiden flight. The flight was the first time an A350 XWB configured for a customer has taken to the sky. Following the successful flight, Qatar’s A350 XWB will continue its production phase before delivery; this includes cabin completion as well as further ground and flight tests.
Qatar Airways will become the first operator of the A350 XWB when it takes delivery of its first aircraft later this year. The airline has 80 A350s on order, including 43 A350-900 and 37 of the larger A350-1000 models.
The A350 XWB is Airbus' all-new mid-size long range product line and the newest member of Airbus' widebody family. At the end of September 2014, the A350 XWB had won 750 orders from 39 customers worldwide.
