Airbus A350 XWB Asia Tour
The newest and latest member of the Airbus wide-body family, the A350 is the world’s most modern and efficient aircraft, setting new standards in-flight experience, operational efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

The A350 flights are also operated by Airbus flight crews. XWB also means Extra Wide Body for those who do not know.
This was also one of the initial test aircraft without any completed interior too. We were invited to board the test aircraft for a tour of the technical specification and to see how Airbus has been testing the new plane.

In total, 5 test planes went around the world during their world tour and MSN3 was the plane that flew into Singapore while for the last leg, it is the MSN5 that will be here in Malaysia.
The Airbus A350XWB plane will also land in Malaysia on the 26th of November and will be here for a couple of days before heading back home.
Conclusion
Since I will be there, I will also feature photos after the event here in Malaysia Asia. I cannot wait to see how the seating configuration will be laid out and also am very curious about how extra wide the fuselage will be once fitted with the seating.
Overall, I am glad that Airbus decided on having the Airbus A350 XWB Asia Tour and here in Malaysia too.
