Airbus delivers its 100th A350 XWB

When China Airlines received its seventh A350 XWB on June 26, the carrier took possession of the 100th jetliner delivered from this newest family in Airbus’ widebody product line. The milestone aircraft is an A350-900 version, joining China Airlines’ growing A350 XWB fleet – adding to the line-up of widebody A330s and A340s flown by the long-time Airbus customer, which is based in Taiwan. Having now received half of its 14 A350-900s on order, China Airlines is benefitting from the A350 XWB’s maturity and flexibility on both regional and long-haul services – including the Taipei-San Francisco route.
