Air France-KLM, in a massive win to Airbus, is set to order up to 90 A350s made up of 50 firm orders and 40 options.
According to a Bloomberg report, the airline group said that “the decision to go with Airbus for its widebody fleet renewal came down to a complex choice around aircraft range, pricing and slot availability — and the European plane maker’s willingness to be more aggressive to edge out arch-rival Boeing.”
The A350-900s and -1000s will replace the group’s Boeing 777s.

Airlineratings.com is packed with information about air travel and answers questions that many of us may have thought of, but didn’t know who to ask. Well, now you do!
Airlineratings.com was developed to provide everyone in the world with a one-stop shop for everything related to airlines, formed by a team of aviation editors, who have forensically researched nearly every airline in the world.
Our rating system is rated from one to seven stars on safety – with seven being the highest ranking. Within each airline, you will find the country of origin, airline code, booking URL and seat map information. The rating system takes into account a number of different factors related to audits from aviation’s governing bodies, lead associations as well as the airline’s own safety data. Every airline has a safety rating breakdown so you can see exactly how they rate.
Over 230 of the airlines on the site that carry 99 per cent of the world’s passengers have a product rating. Given that low-cost, regional and full-service carriers are so different we have constructed a different rating system for each which can be found within each airline.
