With 15 units now delivered, this means that there are only three more to go, following British Airways’ 2013 order for 18 A350-1000s from the Toulouse-based Airbus.
At this stage, it is unclear what the first revenue flight from London Heathrow will be for G-XWBO, but we will no doubt watch out for the aircraft when it performs its first commercial and revenue flight for the airline.
