Airbus has delivered its 500th A350 to Iberia, Spain’s national airline, which is the 15th of this kind among the carrier’s fleet. According to Airbus, it has been eight years since the first aircraft of this kind has been delivered to an airline and that is Qatar Airways in particular.

“When we designed the A350 and delivered the first one, we were extremely proud to have created a real clean sheet, state-of-the-art aircraft, delivering unmatched performance and economics. It offers outstanding space, comfort and quietness to the passengers , and it contributes significantly to decarbonising aviation,” said Philippe Mhun, EVP Programs and Services at Airbus.
