The Airbus A350 is renowned as one of the world's most efficient widebody aircraft, contributing to the decline of the A380 Superjumbo project due to its operational savings. However, acquiring an A350 comes with a significant price tag. Airlines typically opt to lease aircraft rather than purchasing them outright. The cost of an Airbus A350 varies considerably based on airline-
specific configurations and inflation factors.
Airbus' flagship aircraft
The Airbus A350 serves as Airbus's flagship model, competing with Boeing's 777 and 787 variants in the long-haul market. The development of the A350 cost around $15 billion and it holds the highest ETOPS certification of any commercial aircraft, allowing it to fly for over six hours from the nearest suitable airport.
"The two versions, the A350-900 and the longer fuselage A350-1000, fly efficiently on any sector from short-haul to ultra-long-haul routes up to 9,700nm, carrying 300-410 passengers in typical three-class configurations, and up to 480 passengers in a single-class layout," said Airbus.
In January 2025 reports by Airbus indicated that they had received orders for a total of \[1,363\] A350s. Of these orders, \[644\] have been delivered while \[643\] remain in backlog.
The cost of an Airbus A350
IBA lists market prices for commercial aircraft including the A350. According to IBA:
"The slow ramp-up of new widebody commercial aircraft combined with a lack of good airworthy aircraft in the market and supply chain issues have caused the market value of midlife widebody aircraft to increase over the last year. "
"The Airbus A350 family has been enjoying growing demand receiving a large number of orders. "
In \[2018\], Axon Aviation Group listed prices for different models: - Airbus \[A350\]-900: $317.4 million - Airbus \[A350\]-1000: $366.5 million
Current listings show slightly reduced prices: - Airbus \[A350\]-900: $308 million - Airbus \[A350\]-1000: $356 million
A significant portion of these costs is attributed to engines; each pair of Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines is estimated between $25 and $35 million.
