A320 Family
Airbus’ Family of single-aisle
aircraft, based on the A320, includes
the A318, A319 and A321 derivatives.
With over 4,500 aircraft in service
at the end of 2010, the A320 Family
has proven extremely popular with
airlines, offering high standards of
comfort and economic performance
on short and medium-haul routes.
In 2010, Airbus launched a new
eco-efficient option for its A320
Family aircraft, with new “sharklet”
wingtip devices and fuel-efficient
engines. The A320neo (new engine
option) will deliver fuel savings of
up to 15%. Entry into service is
planned for 2015.
A330/A340
The A330/A340 Family has the
versatility to fly either regional or
long-range routes, coming in six
different passenger configurations,
powered by two or four engines.
The twin-engine A330 is designed to
generate maximum revenue and to
reduce operating costs on regional
routes, while the four-engine A340
provides flexibility on long-range
flights. Airbus has also developed a
cargo variant of the A330 Family, the
A330-200F, a mid-sized long-range
cargo aircraft, designed for fuel
efficiency. First delivery of this aircraft
was made to Etihad Airways in July
2010. Airbus received 63 firm orders
for the A330/A340 Family of aircraft
in 2010, and delivered 91 aircraft
to customers.
A350 XWB Family
The A350 XWB (extra wide body)
Family is designed to meet airline
demand for a new generation of
medium-capacity, long-range
aircraft. With a fuselage made largely
of composite material, its low weight
will help airlines to cut fuel costs
and emissions. The wide body will
give passengers greater comfort on
long journeys. Launched in 2006,
the A350 XWB went into production
in 2010, with manufacturing of the
first sub-assemblies. At the end of
2010, Airbus had received a total of
583 firm orders for A350 XWB Family
aircraft from 36 customers.
Airbus Commercial
Airbus Commercial is market leader in the sector
for civil aircraft seating 100 or more passengers.
It offers airlines a highly competitive range of advanced,
fuel-efficient aircraft.
