Asiana Airlines adds more A350 long-haul routes

Asiana Airlines is deploying Airbus A350-900s on an increasing number of long-haul routes as more of the type are delivered. Asiana currently operates 4 A350s after receiving its latest delivery in April. One more is scheduled to be delivered in July, a spokesman said. The airline ordered 21 A350-900s and 9 -1000s. Aside from the sixth A350, Asiana has no other aircraft deliveries scheduled for the remainder of this year. The carrier this month began deploying A350s on some days on one of its two daily Seoul-Los Angeles flights. It also uses the A350 on its daily flight to London Heathrow, its daily service to San Francisco, and one of its 3 daily flights to Fukuoka, Japan. This type will also be deployed on Asiana’s daily Seattle route from July. This route is currently served by Boeing 777-200s. <br/>
