First airline from the Americas to operate the A350 XWB
TAM will
become the first airline from the Americas to fly the A350 XWB and the fourth
operator in the world. LATAM Airlines Group, made up of LAN Airlines and TAM
Airlines, has ordered 27 A350-900. The carrier will start operating the A350
XWB in January 2016 between Sao Paulo and Manaus, followed by international
operations between Sao Paulo and Miami, and Sao Paulo and Madrid.
The A350
XWB is the latest addition to the market-leading Airbus widebody product line.
The A350-900 seating up to 325 passengers in a three class layout can fly on
routes of up to 7,600 nautical miles. It features the latest aerodynamic
design, carbon fibre fuselage and wings, plus new fuel-efficient Rolls-Royce
Trent XWB engines. Together, these latest technologies bring unrivalled level
of operational efficiency, with a 25 per cent reduction in fuel burn and emissions,
and significantly lower maintenance costs.
For passengers, the A350 XWB brings new levels of in-flight comfort, with more personal space in all classes. In business class, airlines can install the most luxurious full-flat seats, while the extra wide fuselage allows comfortable 18-inch 9 abreast seat layouts in economy class. The aircraft also features wider panoramic windows, larger overhead stowage compartments and a new draught-free air conditioning system, as well as the latest in-flight entertainment and connectivity systems. At the end of August 2015, the A350 XWB had won 782 firm orders worldwide from 40 customers.
