EgyptAir has disclosed a firm order for an additional six A350-900s as part of its expansion strategy to meet growing demand for air travel. The agreement takes the airline\u2019s total order for the type to 16 A350-900.
\n\u201cWe are continuously working to modernise our fleet and deliver a more comfortable and optimised travel experience. This collaboration with Airbus builds on a long-standing relationship that spans decades, marked by multiple successful deals and strategic partnerships in the aviation sector. Today\u2019s announcement reflects our commitment to integrating the next-generation aircraft into our fleet. It will enable us to meet rising demand for long-haul travel, support our network expansion plans over the next five years, and contribute to Egypt\u2019s broader efforts to promote more sustainable air transport.\u201d said EgyptAir Chairman and CEO Captain Ahmed Adel.
\n\u201cThis is the second time EgyptAir has placed an order for the A350 and the decision is testament to the value the aircraft provides. The A350 is set to be a pillar in EgyptAir\u2019s journey, and we look forward to these aircraft playing a pivotal role in the airline\u2019s continued success, growth and decarbonisation ambition,” said Beno\u00eet de Saint-Exup\u00e9ry, \u00a0Airbus EVP Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business.
\nThe A350 is the world\u2019s most modern and efficient widebody aircraft and has set new \u00a0standards for intercontinental travel. It offers the longest range capability of any commercial airliner in production today. Powered by the latest generation of Rolls-Royce engines, the aircraft is designed to fly up to 9,700 nautical miles \/ 18,000 kilometres non-stop, using 25% less fuel than previous generation types and with a similar reduction in carbon emissions.
\nThe A350-900s are equipped with a comfortable and spacious Airspace cabin, wide seats, high ceilings and alluring ambient lighting.
\nAs with all Airbus aircraft, the A350 aircraft is already able to operate with up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Airbus is targeting to have its aircraft up to 100% SAF capable by 2030.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
