British Airways A350-1000 US Routes in 2026
Discover British Airways' plans for A350-1000 flights to the US in 2026. The Airbus A350-1000 has become one of British Airways’ most important widebody aircraft.
The airline first announced plans to order the aircraft back in 2013, and signed for 18 of the type with options for another 18. These jets were primarily intended to replace the carrier’s aging Boeing 747s, as well as some older 767s and 777s, as part of an effort to modernize its long-haul fleet.
The UK-based carrier received its first A350-1000 in July 2019 and has since taken delivery of all 18 aircraft. The airline regularly deploys the aircraft on its major transatlantic routes, as well as long services to the Middle East, India, and select destinations in Africa and Asia.
This year, according to data from aviation analytics provider Cirium, British Airways has scheduled more than 9,000 A350-1000 flights to destinations across Asia, including Tokyo Haneda, Hong Kong, Mumbai, and Delhi.
