Interesting stats

The region which operates highest number of A350 is Southeast Asia (Thai Airways, Singapore Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Philippines Airlines and Vietnam Air).

This is followed by Northeast Asia, Middle East and Europe. The route from Southeast Asia to US and Europe are best to use the current A350 with significant range and excellent cabin to complement with.

Malaysia Airlines is using the A350 for its sole Europe route to London-Heathrow and selective North Asia destinations such as Tokyo-Narita and Seoul-Incheon.
