A350-1000: Intercontinental Performance with Reduced Environmental Impact
The A350-1000 represents the latest generation of wide-body aircraft. Designed for long-haul flights, this model can fly non-stop for up to 9,700 nautical miles (18,000 kilometers). Its Rolls-Royce engines deliver a 25% reduction in fuel consumption and carbon emissions compared to previous models.
Currently, all Airbus aircraft, including the A350, are certified to operate with up to 50% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), with full compatibility expected by 2030.
A321neo: The Ideal Choice for Regional Routes
The A321neo, part of the A320neo family, incorporates key improvements such as next-generation engines, Sharklets (wingtip devices), and an optimized cabin. These innovations result in a 20% improvement in fuel efficiency, making it an ideal option for short- and medium-haul flights.
“EVA Air’s new orders highlight the A350-1000’s role as the benchmark for intercontinental operations and the A321neo’s leadership in regional efficiency,” said Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Executive Vice President of Sales at Airbus.
With this investment, the airline not only bolsters its operational capabilities but also takes a firm step toward greener and more efficient aviation.
