SriLankan secures buyers for A350s
Sri Lanka's Deputy Minister for State Enterprises, Eran Wickramaratne, says national carrier SriLankan Airlines is in the process of disposing of its four A350-900s, ordered from Airbus Industrie in 2013.
According to Reuters, Wickramaratne said that of the four, one had been sold to an undisclosed lessor for a "reasonably good price" while talks concerning the the remaining three are still ongoing.
The move is part of a cost-cutting exercise aimed at improving the debt-ridden carrier's books ahead of a planned privatization process due to launch later in the year.

Airbus expects to announce positive news on demand for A350-900 and A350-1000 jets in coming weeks, with Virgin Atlantic close to reaching a final deal to buy close to 10 A350-1000s.

A bad habit in the making? The Airbus A350 XWB is developed for a 3-3-3 seating in economy class (just like the 777 by the way). But Air Caraïbes thinks differently: the A350s that will be delivered to them will be configured with a 3-4-3 seating (just like most 777s now). I vow never to fly them!

American Airlines deferred deliveries of all 22 A350-900s on order, in effort to reduce Capital Expenditure and manage capacity through 2018. First delivery now set for late 2018, with remainder through 2022.

The first Airbus A350 for Air Caraïbes ready for painting in Toulouse. Likely to become the first A350 with 10-abreast seating instead of the regular 3-3-3 (thus it will never see me on board).
