As the only widebody airliner on display on the show’s static park, the newly certified A350-1000 takes top billing here in Singapore, where it flew in from Hanoi as part of a 12-city tour of Asia and the Middle East. On display until February 8, flight-test example MSN 65 has already visited the Doha base of launch customer Qatar Airways, where CEO Akbar Al Baker told reporters that he expects to take delivery of the first of 37 airplanes on order by February 15. Next it goes to Bangkok, followed by Sydney, Auckland, Tokyo and Manila.
