Air France: receives first Airbus A350
(CercleFinance.com) - Air France has received its first Airbus A350 at the Airbus delivery centre in Toulouse (France).
This new aircraft has 324 seats, 34 of which are in Business class, 24 Premium Economy and 266 Economy.
In all, Air France's fleet will include 28 Airbus A350-900s by 2025.
The Air France Airbus A350 will make its first commercial flight on 7 October. It will be gradually deployed to six destinations by 2020.
This aircraft consumes 25% less fuel (i.e. 2.5 litres per passenger per 100 kilometres), thanks to the incorporation of lighter materials (up to 67%): 53% composites and 14% titanium. Its noise footprint is 40% less.
For Anne Rigail, CEO of Air France, "The arrival of this first A350 marks a new phase in Air France's fleet modernization strategy. Within 5 years, more than half of the company's fleet will be made up of new-generation aircraft!"
