Airbus: Korean Air orders 33 A350 Family aircraft
' The acquisition of the new-generation A350 is not only in line with the airlines' sustainable development efforts, but is also seen as a preparation for the integration of Asiana Airlines' says the group.
The A350-1000 is the largest aircraft in the A350 family, and can accommodate from 350 to 410 passengers in a standard three-class configuration.
The aircraft uses advanced composite materials, reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions by up to 25% compared with similar-sized aircraft models of the previous generation.
Featuring the longest flight range of any existing airliner, the A350-1000 can travel up to 16,000 km with a full load.
The airline can deploy the aircraft on its long-haul routes such as Seoul Incheon-New York, where the airline currently operates two daily flights.
In addition to the agreement to purchase 33 A350s, Korean Air plans to acquire 50 Airbus A321neo, 10 Boeing 787-9s, 20 Boeing 787-10s and 30 Boeing 737-8s.
