Air France takes delivery of its twentieth Airbus A350-900
This Friday, Air France welcomed the 20th Airbus A350-900, registration F-HTYT, to its fleet. The aircraft will make its first commercial flight (AF480) on Saturday, November 26 to Lima, Peru.
The aircraft is named “Angers”, in homage to this city in western France that was once home to the country’s kings. Since 2019 and with the delivery of its first Airbus A350, Air France has revived the tradition of naming its aircraft after French cities.
