Ethiopian Airlines takes delivery of first A350-1000

Ethiopian Airlines (ET, Addis Ababa International) has taken delivery of its first A350-1000, one of four ordered by the airline, and the first of the type to be operated by an African carrier. ET-BAW (msn 691) was handed over to the airline on November 4 at Toulouse Blagnac, the airline said. It was ferried to Addis Ababa International the following day, Flightradar24 ADS-B data shows.

ET-BAW is equipped with Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engines - the only option for the A350 family - and is configured with 46 business class seats and 349 economy. A second -1000 is due to be delivered in December, followed by the remaining two by late first quarter 2025.

The first unit will be used on promotional flights to eight destinations until the second aircraft arrives, after which both will be dedicated to serving its Washington Dulles route, Ethiopian Aviation Holding Group CEO Mesfin Tasew said at the handover ceremony. The A350-1000 will enable the airline "to enhance its premium service on key destinations" including Washington D.C., London HeathrowParis CDG, and Frankfurt InternationalAirbus said. Tasew added that the larger aircraft would be particularly useful on the slot-constrained Heathrow route.

Ethiopian Airlines' widebody fleet comprises twenty A350-900s (with another 11 still to be delivered), six B777-200LRs, four B777-300ERs, nineteen B787-8s, ten B787-9s, and ten B777-200Fs (with another two to be delivered). Along with the additional A350-900s, eleven B787-9s and eight B777-9s are still to be delivered.

A321XLR Iberia 640Airbus delivers very 1st Airbus A321XLR

A happy moment for Airbus on 30 October 2024, as the manufacturer has officially delivered its very first A321XLR. The happy receiver of the aircraft is IAG, which has allocated it to Iberia where it will fly as EC-OIL (11504).

The A321-200NY can fly 15% further than the A321-200NX, enabling it to serve routes up to 8.700 km. Airbus flew the A321XLR for the first time on 15 June 2022, and received its type certification from the EASA on 19 July 2024.

According to Airbus, it has more than 500 firm orders for the newest version of the A321neo.

IAG has fourteen A321-200NYs on order. Eight of these will go to Iberia, while the other six are allocated to Aer Lingus.

From 6 November 2024, Iberia will deploy the type first from Madrid to London-Heathrow and Paris-Charles de Gaulle. From 14 November 2024, it will start using the type on long-haul flights to Boston (MA). Later next year, it will also serve Washington-Dulles (VA) with it

Saudi Arabia’s start-up airline places £6bn plane order in challenge to Gulf rivals

Riyadh Air has lodged a mammoth $8bn (£6bn) aircraft order as it ramps up efforts to take on established Middle Eastern carriers such as Emirates.

The Saudi Arabian start-up airline, which is bankrolled by the Saudi state, has struck a deal to buy 60 A321neo short-haul jets from Airbus.

This is in addition to an earlier agreement for 39 Boeing wide-bodies announced last year, which includes the option for another 33.

The Airbus order marks the latest step in Riyadh Air’s bid to muscle in on a Gulf market dominated by some of the world’s biggest airlines, including Dubai-based Emirates and Qatar Airways.

Chief executive Tony Douglas said the Airbus jets will help “support economic growth” by establishing the comprehensive route network needed to transform the city of Riyadh into a global aviation hub.

The move to establish a new airline is a key element of Saudi Arabia’s bid to reduce its reliance on oil by diversifying into new sectors such as transport and tourism.

The airline, which plans to commence flights next year, is also understood to be pursuing an additional deal for more wide-body jets as it looks to expand its fleet further.

It is also exploring plans to enter the cargo market.

Riyadh Air has said it wants to offer flights to 100 global destinations by the end of the decade, which will support Saudi Arabia’s bid to attract 100m tourists a year.

Mr Douglas revealed his ambitions for the airline in an interview with The Telegraph earlier this year: “It’s no secret that for a long time, Saudi Arabia has lagged way behind in terms of global connectivity, and there’s no good example anywhere in the world of a sustainable, fast-growing economy that hasn’t got good connectivity.

“The Kingdom needs a new world-class national carrier that will be its own version of Emirates and Qatar Airways, and the answer to that is Riyadh Air.”

Meanwhile, the deal capped a positive day for Airbus, which also revealed that profits rose 39pc to hit €1.4bn in the three months to September.

Airbus Prepares First Delivery Of A321XLR Aircraft For Spanish Airline Iberia

The long-awaited service entry of Airbus' next-generation game-changing narrowbody aircraft, the Airbus A321XLR, could be just around the corner, according to the latest reports from industry sources. Reuters indicated that the A321XLR will be delivered to Spanish flag carrier and Oneworld alliance member Iberia next Tuesday.
The delivery of this long-range narrowbody has undoubtedly been long-awaited, as the aircraft could be set to become the most influential narrowbody aircraft of the next decade. The plane will be handed over through a formal transfer of ownership next week, although the aircraft will likely not enter commercial service with the airline for at least a month.
With a game-changing range of up to 4,700 nautical miles, the Airbus A321XLR could drastically change how airlines perform narrowbody operations and open up newer low-demand destinations across the globe. Dozens of A321XLRs have already been ordered, and the airline's decision to deliver its first plane to Iberia stands as a symbol of the manufacturer's relationship with the Spanish flag carrier. Iberia has not yet responded to requests for comment from Simple Flying and other media outlets regarding the matter.
