Shaping eco-efficiency

Recognizing the need for a sustainable development of air travel, the environment will benefit from the efficiency inherent in the A350 XWB Family.

Next generation engines and state of the art aerodynamics help reduce emissions well below current and future regulations.

NOx emissions will be up to 40% lower than CAEP/6 requirements and exterior noise levels will be up to 16dB lower than ICAO chapter 4 regulations.

The A350 XWB will have some of the lowest CO2 emissions in the industry which also means that, at equal emissions levels, it is capable of carrying more passengers than its competitors.

Market adaptability

The A350 XWB is designed to be efficient on very long-haul missions but also for regional operations.

To reduce costs on shorter range missions, it combines reduced operating weight options with up to 40% engine derate capability.

The A350 XWB cabin also provides the flexibility to adapt to different markets. Its wide cross section can accommodate 7 abreast regional business class, and up to 10 abreast economy class seating.

Moreover, thanks to efficient design features, the A350 XWB offers operators easier re-configuration solutions. This provides market-matching flexibility, for instance swapping some rows of business class seats for more rows of economy class seats.
