LATAM continues to retreat from A350-1000
Latin American operator LATAM Airlines Group has converted another four A350-1000s to the -900, continuing its migration away from the larger A350 variant. LATAM had originally ordered 27 A350-900s and its Brazilian division TAM received its first in 2015. Around the time of this initial delivery, the company opted to convert part of the order to the A350-1000. LATAM continued scaling up batches of A350-900s until it had 14 of the -1000 on order. But towards the end of 2017 it began to reverse this strategy, cutting the complement of -1000s by converting them back to -900s. Airbus’s latest backlog revision shows that LATAM has switched another four -1000s, reducing the number on order to eight. <br/>
