More Airbus A350s Ordered

EGYPTAIR has confirmed an order for an additional six Airbus A350-900s.

The deal, which was announced on Day 3 of the 2025 Paris Airshow, adds to an initial agreement for the type and brings the total to 16 for the A350-900.

EGYPTAIR is continuing to evaluate its requirements moving forward regarding its fleet, and the acquisition of the A350 will ultimately play a significant role in its growth and renewal.

The carrier states that the latest deal is a testament to the collaborative effort between the two brands and builds upon a long-standing relationship spanning decades in the supply of new commercial aircraft.

The addition of more Airbus A350s will allow for greater access to the long-haul market and give EGYPTAIR confidence to expand suitably, with the knowledge that enough capacity will be present.

Ultimately, this latest agreement marks the second time EGYPTAIR has selected the A350, highlighting, according to Airbus, the clear value the program will provide for decades to come.

Airlines Love The A350

Since launching the widebody program, Airbus has received strong feedback that its versatility enables it to reach all types of markets, with configurations also optimised to serve each specific set of airlines’ unique circumstances.

Equipped with Airspace cabins, which feature wide seats, higher ceilings, and ambient lighting, the state-of-the-art fittings have been a priority for Airbus, not just to please its airline customers but also the flying public.

At the end of May 2025, the impact of the series was more than clear, with over 1,390 orders from 60 customers worldwide and many more in the pipeline, including large amounts of options in existing contracts.

The A350, similar to the 777X and even 787, are part of a new class of widebody aircraft that aims to leverage technological advancements to its advantage in building the best possible aircraft for the future.

Talk of a prospective new variant has also emerged in recent weeks as Airbus seeks ways to evolve the already successful program to fend off competition, counter it, and further develop its widebody.
