Airbus A350-1000 to visit Sydney in February
A350-1000 , reg F-WLXV is currently in DOH on its first leg of the tour . It’s painted in the carbon fibre scheme and is using the callsign AIB 349. It should be due in Sydney around 9th February after leaving the Singapore Airshow held between 6-8 February . After leaving SYD , it’s only Australian destination , it will depart for AKL before flying back to TLS via Manila . One to look out for ..

It looks like it's got a stopover in Bangkok before it gets to Sydney, so the 10th seems the more likely arrival date for Sydney. I've read suggestions that it's at Auckland on the 11/12th February.
http://www.airbus.com/newsroom/press...and-asia-.html Looking at that press release, I think Airbus need a new photographer....I'll volunteer my services when they get here

I think the Airbus A350-1000 is short on range for that sort of flight . I would anticipate it would be seen more as a 747 replacement if anything .

Same thing isn’t it? Just a few extra fuel tanks?

Not quite. The -1000 is a (7m, 40 seat) stretched version of the -900, with (fairly substantially) updated engines, new landing gear and a modified wing.
The -900ULR is a -900 with more fuel tanks. |

http://australianaviation.com.au/201...stration-tour/ One of the comments is: "Believe Feb 12-14 in AKL" Which would make SYD Feb 10-11 ? |
