Airbus's A350 may debut before Paris air show

  • France: 5 hours, 45 minutes ago

Airbus has expressed growing optimism about the schedule for the much-awaited maiden flight of its A350, amid speculation that its first new jet in almost a decade could debut before next month's Paris air show, Reuters has reported. Airbus parent EADS described the A350 project as "challenging," but stuck to a summer target date for the maiden flight of Europe's response to the commercially successful 787. "You will not hear me today giving any new comment on any date; we are preparing the aircraft, we are doing ground tests, we are continuing structural tests," Harald Wilhelm, the finance director of both Airbus and parent EADS, told reporters. "The important thing is that it is a 'mature' first flight and this will happen in the summer I think. On this we are more and more confident."
