    Singapore Airlines expects commercial Airbus A350 flights to begin in March or April following delays to delivery of the first aircraft, which was previously expected this month.

    Cathay Pacific will begin flying the advanced Airbus A350 to Auckland in the second half of this year, although Australia is unlikely to see the fuel-efficient jetliner until 2017.

    I always feel more comfortable in a wide chord wing aircraft than a narrow chord wing . And in turbulence I'm always happy if im in a boeing than an airbus

    Finnair operates 2 daily flights to Bangkok in winter and one daily in summer. This flight AY89/90 arrives in BKK at 7am and departs at 9am, while the other, AY95/96 arrives at 9am and departs at 11am.
    Finnair took delivery of third A350 (MSN20/OH-LWC) on the 31-Dec. It has been flying AY89/90 to BKK.

    Yeah, 787 had many critical issues with its battery right ?

    A350 XWB

    Because It is,
    quiet than the 787 Dreamliner
    wider than the 787 (More Seats)
    Technologically advanced than the 787
    built by composites materials

    Finnair Has Entered into a Memorandum of Understanding on the Sale and Leaseback of Two A350 Aircraft

    Finnair has ordered a total of 19 new A350-900 XWB aircraft. Finnair took delivery of its first A350 aircraft on 7 October 2015 and the second on 14 December 2015. According to the currently anticipated delivery schedule, Finnair will have five A350-900 aircraft at the beginning of the second quarter of 2016, seven by the end of 2016, 11 by the end of 2017, and 19 by the end of 2023.



    Singapore Airlines will fly the A350 as it revives its 19-hour nonstop between Newark and Changi by 2018.

    According to FR24, OH-LWB is the only A359 being used for BKK route. Do you know which is the other aircraft type also operate to BKK?

    BKK - https://www.flightradar24.com/data/airplanes/oh-lwb/

    PVG - https://www.flightradar24.com/data/airplanes/oh-lwa/

    Finnair supposed to take delivery of 3rd A359 (OH-LWC/MSN20) end of this month but there are some unknown delays for the delivery. They done the engine run for MSN20 on the 22-Dec and its still under test registration. Do you know where Finnair planning to use the 3rd A359 from Helsinki? Does anyother airline operate A359 to BKK? Hopefully SQ will use their first A359 to BKK for training and crew familiarization. SQ's first A359 (9V-SMA/MSN26) should be delivered to SIN next month.

    Shortly I will post here of the latest update about Thai's 1st A359 (MSN44)

    What time did you take these pictures? and how many times per week Finnair does operate the Bangkok route?
