Description: The Airbus A350-1000 Takes the Singapore Airshow Spotlight

As the only widebody airliner on display on the show’s static park, the newly certified A350-1000 takes top billing at the Singapore Airshow, where it flew in from Hanoi as part of a 12-city tour of Asia and the Middle East. Billed as a modern and more efficient replacement for the Boeing 777-300ER, the Airbus A350-1000 fills what the European airframer believes became a gap in the legacy 777’s capacity range left when its U.S. competitor decided to start with a baseline of more than 400 seats for its 777X.
