About the Airbus A350

"Airbus's most advanced long-haul jet!"

The Airbus A350 is Airbus's answer to the Boeing 787 — a modern, fuel-efficient wide-body jet made largely from carbon fiber. It features a distinctive curved wingtip design and a very quiet cabin. Singapore Airlines operates the world's longest non-stop flight using the A350-900ULR.
