Airbus has introduced performance and cabin improvements to the A350 widebody featuring an increased mtow and extra space in the cabin. The new standard brings as much as a 1.2-tonne overall weight reduction for both the A350-900 and larger A350-1000, achieved through optimizing systems, structures, and installations on various areas of the aircraft.
