AirAsiaX to put A350s in 10-abreast configuration
By Mark Pilling
AirAsia X has signed up for the Airbus A350, placing an order for 10 XWBs and is the first carrier to confirm it has opted for a 10-abreast configuration. The airline group's head Tony Fernandes says the 400 seaters will be delivered from early 2016. The deal, which is worth $2.4 billion at list prices, includes five options.
"Airbus have really practised what they've preached," says Fernandes. "My favourite people are in [Airbus] customer finance who love buying and selling planes to us."

Da notare che la cabina dell' A350 è più stretta di 25cm ripetto a quella del 777. Avendo provato su quest' ultimo i tormenti della configurazione 3-4-3, posso solo immaginare che inferno dovrà essere un A350 con la stessa configurazione.
