About the Airbus A350-1000
Airbus delivered the first A350-1000 to Qatar Airways in February 2018. Airbus describes its fuselage as about seven meters longer than the A350-900’s and specifies Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engines. The additional length gives airlines more room to allocate to seat rows and premium sections.
Seating capacity
Airbus gives 375–400 seats as typical in three classes. Japan Airlines publishes an X35 configuration with 239 seats: six in First, 54 in Business, 24 in Premium Economy and 155 in Economy. The figures refer to different layouts. Check the map for the aircraft assigned to your flight.
Cabin layout
The passenger cabin has two aisles. In Japan Airlines’ First Class, the airline shows three seats across in a 1–1–1 arrangement. There is one seat by either side of the cabin and one between the aisles. The X35 map shows separate Business, Premium Economy and Economy sections farther back. Use the map to compare seat positions within your cabin.
How to recognize an Airbus A350-1000
The long fuselage is easiest to compare with the A350-900 in side views taken at a similar scale. The A350-1000 also has six wheels on each main landing gear assembly. That is a useful clue when the gear is visible. Use the registration to confirm the exact model.
Variants and related aircraft
The FAA lists the A350-1000 under A35K and the shorter A350-900 under A359. Japan Airlines uses 351 on its own seat-map page. Match the full model name when switching between an airline seat map and the radar.
