Aircraft cabin width
BTN made a mistake last week in reporting that the cabin width of the Airbus A350XWB was greater than the Boeing 777. That has now been corrected on the website. (See 19 January A350 XWB – First impressions)
With the arrival of the new Airbus we thought it was a good opportunity to list the current jets available and the average interior cross section. Last week we published the official Airbus price list. See in this issue Boeing prices.
The Chinese C919 is due to fly in 2015 and is the widest narrow body to date. The Sukhoi is in service and seems to be successful and the MRJ’s first flight is not long away.
