It offers outstanding space, comfort and quietness to the passengers, and it contributes significantly to decarbonising aviation. The A350 is providing today a versatile platform to support our customers&#8217; strategy in front of a more and more complex environment&#8221; says Philippe Mhun, EVP Programmes and Services at Airbus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Introducing the A350 new Production Standard<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This 500th delivery also marks the introduction of the new Production Standard 2022 which brings additional performance and cabin improvements for both A350-900 and A350-1000. Compared to previous standards, it brings a weight reduction of up to 1.2 tonnes by optimising systems and structures and increasing the use of advanced materials which already represent more than 70% of the aircraft. The Maximum Takeoff Weight is also increased by 3 tonnes allowing each model to maintain its maximum range capability, beyond 8,000nm, while carrying an increased payload. The new standard comes with a wider interior cabin at armest level. This increase in cabin space allows airlines the flexibility to offer more than 30 additional seats in a typical 3-class configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These improvements provide operators with increased profitability and flexibility, while offering passengers more space and comfort in the quietest cabin of its category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To date, the A350 Family flies in the liveries of 39 airlines on over 900 routes worldwide<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid
