The A330neo was developed at a fraction of the 787's cost, so Airbus could compete aggressively on price while the A330neo almost matched the 787's performance. Boeing had to discount the Dreamliner to win deals at the time, and 787-9 values sank from the low $140 million range to the mid-$130 million range. [102]
For a comparison with ground transportation - much slower and with shorter range than air travel - a Volvo bus 9700 averages 0.41 L/100 km (570 mpg ‑US) per seat for 63 seats. [116] In highway travel an average auto has the potential for 1.61 L/100 km (146 mpg ‑US ) [ 117 ] per seat (assuming 4 seats) and for a 5-seat 2014 Toyota Prius , 0. ...
The A350 cabin is 12.7 cm (5.0 in) wider at the eye level of a seated passenger than the 787's cabin, [25] and 28 cm (11 in) narrower than the Boeing 777's cabin (see the Wide-body aircraft comparison of cabin widths and seating). All A350 passenger models have a range of at least 14,800 kilometres (8,000 nmi; 9,200 mi).
During the late 1990s, Boeing considered replacement aircraft programs due to slowing sales of the 767 and 747-400.Two new aircraft were proposed. The 747X would have lengthened the 747-400 and improved efficiency, and the Sonic Cruiser would have achieved 15% higher speeds (approximately Mach 0.98) while burning fuel at the same rate as the 767.

At the 2023 Dubai Airshow, Emirates placed an order for an additional 15 A350-900s, bringing the total to 65 aircraft, and converted its order for 30 787-9s to 20 787-8 and 15 787-10 aircraft. [54] [55] [70] On November 25, 2024, Emirates took its first Airbus A350 following a series of delays.
As the Japanese government plans to add more slots at Tokyo's Haneda Airport by 2020 (in time for the 2020 Summer Olympics), Japan Airlines intends to order more wide-bodies for growth in 2018 or 2019: it could exercise its 25 options on Airbus A350s on top of its 31 firm orders, due for delivery from 2019, and study others such as the proposed Boeing New Midsize Airplane or the 787-10 to add ...
Turkish Airlines received its 400th aircraft, an Airbus A350-900, in February 2023. [125] In May, chairman Ahmet Bolat revealed that the airline was closing in on ordering 600 new aircraft from both Boeing and Airbus, which would be the largest ever if confirmed. 400 of these aircraft would be narrow-body while the other 200 would be wide.
