Airbus launched the A350 program in the mid-2000s as a direct competitor to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The family consists of two main variants: the A350-900, known for its long-range flexibility, and the stretched A350-1000, which is designed with higher seating capacity for dense international markets. The latter entered service in 2018 with Qatar Airways and has since joined the fleets of several major global carriers.
