The Airbus A350-1000 is a cutting-edge addition to the A350 family, designed to offer superior performance and efficiency, the airlines said on Wednesday in a statement.
“With a passenger capacity ranging from 350 to 410, depending on the configuration, the A350-1000 is ideal for accommodating both economy and premium passengers on long-haul routes,” the statement said.
According to the airlines, the increased capacity will allow Ethiopian Airlines to better serve its expanding network of international destinations and respond to growing passenger demand.
One of the standout features of the A350-1000 is its impressive range of approximately 8,000 nautical miles (15,000 kilometers). This extended range allows for non-stop flights between major global hubs, reducing the need for intermediate stops and offering a more streamlined travel experience. The aircraft’s advanced aerodynamics, including a larger wingspan and new wing designs, enhance fuel efficiency and contribute to a lower environmental footprint compared to older aircraft models.
The A350-1000 is powered by the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines, which are known for their quiet operation and fuel efficiency.
The engines of Airbus represent a significant advancement in aviation technology, providing not only improved performance but also a reduction in noise pollution—a crucial factor for airports and surrounding communities.
