Asiana conversion erases last A350-800 order
Airbus has eliminated the A350-800 order backlog after the final customer, Asiana Airlines, migrated its agreement for 8 of the twinjets. Asiana has converted the aircraft to 8 of the larger A350-900. It has also opted to switch 1 of its 10 A350-1000s to a -900. The change leaves Asiana with orders for 21 A350-900s – 4 of which have been delivered – plus 9 -1000s. Airbus has revealed the conversions in its latest backlog data, covering the period to the end of February. The airframer had also been forced to remove the last remaining orders for its A330-800 during the same month, after sole customer Hawaiian Airlines axed its deal for 6. Airbus had offered the A350-800 as the smallest member of the 3-aircraft A350 XWB family. <br/>
