Aeroflot will operate its A350-900 from Moscow to a number of destinations including London, Dubai, New York, Miami, Osaka and Beijing.

The A350 XWB offers operational flexibility and efficiency for all market segments, up to ultra-long haul (9,700 nm), featuring modern aerodynamic design, a carbon fibre fuselage and wings, plus new fuel-efficient Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines. Together, these latest technologies result in 25% lower operating costs, as well as 25% reduction in fuel burn and CO2 emissions compared with previous-generation competing aircraft (demonstrating Airbus’ commitment to minimise its environmental footprint).
 
At the end of January 2020, the A350 XWB Family had received 935 firm orders from 50 customers worldwide.
