This was jointly announced at the Singapore Airshow by Jaime J. Bautista, President & COO of Philippine Airlines and Fabrice Brégier, President & CEO of Airbus, an article published by <a href="http://www.airbus.com/newsevents/news-events-single/detail/philippine-airlines-selects-the-a350-xwb-for-future-long-haul-fleet/">Airbus </a>. Based on reports, Philippine Airlines will configure its A350-900s with a premium three class layout and will operate the aircraft on non-stop flights from Manila to the US west coast and New York. Services will also be offered to new destinations in Europe. The aircraft will enable the carrier to operate non-stop service on the 8,000 nautical mile New York – Manila route all year round with a full passenger load. “After a thorough commercial and technical evaluation, the A350 came out on top in meeting our demanding requirements,” Bautista was quoted saying. Bautista likewise disclosed that with the A350, the airlines will be flying the world‘s most modern airliner; bringing greatly enhanced efficiency and superior passenger comfort as he added that the A350’s range capability has been an important factor in their decision which enabled them to offer non-stop service on all premium long haul routes. “We are pleased to welcome Philippine Airlines as the latest airline to select the all-new A350 XWB,” Brégier said; further noting that the A350 XWB has set new standards, combining extra-long range capability with the lowest operating costs of any aircraft in the larger twin aisle category. In addition, Brégier  stressed that passengers flying with Philippine Airlines can look forward to the new levels of comfort offered by the aircraft, with a wider and quieter cabin, and more personal space for all. The A350 XWB is world’s latest generation airliner and the newest member of the Airbus widebody family. Featuring the most modern aerodynamic design, carbon fiber fuselage and wings, plus new fuel-efficient Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines, the A350 XWB brings a 25 percent reduction in fuel burn and emissions, and significantly lower maintenance costs. Its extra-wide cabin offers more personal space for passengers in all classes to include 18-inch wide seats as standard in economy class. Airbus has presently recorded 777 firm orders for the A350 XWB from 41 customers worldwide. <a href="http://kickerdaily.com/philippine-airlines-signs-agreement-with-airbus-for-six-a350-900s/" rel="nofollow">Kicker Daily News</a>
