Kuwait leasing company stretches Airbus A350

ALAFCO is not an airline that even the keenest of regular travellers will expect to travel on in future years.  Whilst Airbus has issued a digital impression of what an Alafco A350-900 would look like flying, the company is a Kuwait-based international aviation lease and finance company.  It has converted its existing firm order for 12 Airbus A350-800s placed in 2007, into the higher capacity A350-900 model.  The A350-900 typically has a capacity of around 40 more seats than the smaller 800 model.  The A350 XWB family is available in three basic passenger versions: the A350-800 accommodating 270 passengers, the A350-900 seating 314 and the A350-1000 for 350 passengers in a typical three-class layout.  Power is supplied by two new generation Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines.  Orders for the aircraft stand at more than 530 from over 33 customers. www.alafco-kw.com
