The Airbus A350 has been in service since January 2015, but still, only a handful of airlines operate it around the globe. There are actually three variants of the Airbus A350: the A350-900, the A350-900-XWB, and the A350-1000.

The first of those, the Airbus A350-900, or A359, has been in commercial service since 2015, as stated above. The next variant, the A350-900XWB, is designed to be an ultra-long-range aircraft that has higher fuel capacity over the A359. It can fly up to 19-hours within a 9,700-mile nautical range. The launch carrier of this prototype, Singapore Airlines, completed its maiden flight from Toulouse on April 23, 2018. It will be used to operate nonstop flights between Singapore and New York City once the delivery takes place to SQ this August.

Global routes that currently or will feature the A350 in 2018

The -1000 version will serve as a stretch of the -900, and be used to replace the Airbus A340-600. Its primary competitors will be the Boeing 777-300ER and future Boeing programmes such as the 787-10 and 777-9. The A359 was designed to compete with the 777-200ER and 787-9, and replace the Airbus A340-300 and Airbus A340-500.

Currently, there is only one Airbus A350-1000 in service, and that is on Qatar Airways. The remaining Airbus A350s that are in service are all of the -9000 variants with Rolls Royce engines. These are the following airlines that operate the A350:

There will hundreds of routes that the A350 is offered on through the rest of the year, and here are the ones where you are most likely to find it.

Air Caraibes

This is probably one of the few airlines that you’ve never heard of, much less flown. Interestingly, their IATA code is, “TX,” but this is an airline that has little to do with anything pertaining to the Lone Star State. Based in Martinique, Air Caraibes only offers a fleet of 12 aircraft, consisting of propeller planes (ATR-72s), Airbus A330s, and Airbus A350s. It has 2 A350-900s in service and 3 A350-1000s on order.

Air Mauritius

The flag carrier of this tiny island in the Indian ocean shares similarities with the one above. It has a small fleet (~21 aircraft) consisting of short-range propeller planes, as well as a few long-haul Airbus aircraft, including the Airbus A340, and now, the A350. It has two in service and four on-order, entirely of the -900 variant. All routes are operated from its Port Louis hub.
