Demonstrating A350 XWB And 'Widebody Leadership'

Airbus plans a "major presence" at the Singapore Airshow 2014, Asia’s largest aeronautical and defense airshow, taking place from 11th-16th February. Airshow visitors will be able to enjoy the all-new A350 XWB flight-test aircraft (MSN 3) performing its first ever airshow flying display on both, the 11th and 12th February.

A full scale A350 XWB cockpit as well as an interactive A350 XWB model will be on expo at the Airbus stand (J23) together with models of Airbus’ widebody product line and the  A320neo.

Airbus will broadcast the A350 XWB flying display live, and provide daily airshow coverage and news via a special Singapore Airshow website on airbus.com and on youtube.com/airbus. In addition, Airbus will also broadcast a daily 30 minute live show, featuring Airbus experts and special guests.

Airbus says the Asia-Pacific region is a core market for the company with airlines from the region accounting for a third of the company’s total orders worldwide. Today there are more than 2,400 Airbus aircraft in service with nearly 100 airlines across the region and over 1,700 aircraft on order with Asia-Pacific carriers for future delivery. This represents over a third of the company's total backlog, reflecting the importance of the region as the fastest growing market for new civil aircraft.
