Taiwan’s China Airlines has placed a firm order for five  additional A-350/1000 aircraft, taking its total order for the type to 15. The airplanes will join the carrier’s existing fleet of 15 A-350/900s flying on its long haul route network. 

The A-350 is the modern widebody airplane designed to fly up to 9,800 nautical miles /18,000 kilometres non-stop, setting new standards for intercontinental travel.  

Its latest generation Rolls-Royce engines and use of lightweight materials bring a 25 per cent advantage in fuel burn, operating costs and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, compared to previous  generation aircraft. The A-350’s Airspace cabin offers passengers and crews the latest modern in-flight products for a comfortable flying experience. 

As with all industry's aircraft, the A-350 is already able to operate with up to 50% Sustainable Aviation  Fuel (SAF). The company is targeting to have its aircraft up to 100% SAF capable by 2030. 

At the end of November 2025, the A-350 Family had won nearly 1,500 orders from 66 customers  worldwide.
