The A350 XWB is the latest member of the leading Airbus wide-body product line. The A350 XWB was built, above all, for passengers’ well-being. Wider seats in both Business and Economy classes, the lowest twin engine noise level of any aircraft, advanced air conditioning technology and full LED mood lighting, all work together to enhance the comfort of passengers, while reducing fatigue after a long flight. The A350 XWB’s innovative technology also improves performance in operation. Its revolutionary airframe and simplified systems have optimized fuel burn, maintenance costs and reliability, and its engines have the lowest CO2 emissions of any in the widebody category. With the unique combination of passenger comfort, technological innovation, lowest seat mile cost in its class and unprecedented revenue potential, the A350 XWB has the extras that make the difference.
Passenger Experience Interior: The Qatar Airways A350 XWB is a perfect combination of innovative airline product design and intrinsic comfort of the cabin, which is the hallmark of this new aircraft. The seats and special amenities in each of the cabin classes are proprietary to Qatar Airways, and have been crafted in close collaboration with the respective manufacturers.

A USB and Apple Iport socket is available in all classes to enjoy entertainment from a passenger’s own device and for re-charging the device.
