The Board favorably reviewed the new A350 Airliner family program.
Amsterdam, 08 June 2005
Following the already public commitments towards the A 350 by several airlines, and having reviewed the ones to be announced in the near future, the Board was confirmed in its conviction that this project very appropriately meets the airlines’ expectations in the field of mid-size twin aircraft for the next generation.
After thorough review of the industrial situation, and the work in progress on optimization of the industrial ramp-up, the Board confirmed its willingness to proceed towards the full industrial launch of the program with its partner BAe Systems by the end of September.
