The First Aeroflot A350 Delivery

I attended the First Aeroflot A350-900 delivery ceremony at the Airbus HQ in Toulouse, France yesterday. Aeroflot Russian Airlines is the launch operator of the A350 type in Eastern Europe and the CIS.

Aeroflot’s A350-900 features a distinctive new livery, embracing its almost 100 year heritage.

Flight attendants dressed up in retro Aeroflot uniforms, dating back to the 1960s, during a unique ceremony which included ballet dancing. The plane is named after the famous Russian composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky.

I went onboard to check out the new interior, featuring an all new Business Class Suite. The Aeroflot A350 has 28 Business Class Suites, 24 Comfort (Premium Economy) and 264 Economy Class, making for a total of 316 seats.

A brand new A350 delivery should come with the best product. In my view, this is definitely a huge step up from the current Business Class offerings at Aeroflot.

Aeroflot will operate their A350-900 from Moscow to a number of destinations including: London, New York, Miami, Osaka and Beijing. Aeroflot has a total of 14 A350-900 aircraft on order. The Russian airline plan to take delivery of 11 A350s in 2020.
