Appraiser’s Opinion
The Airbus A350-900 was launched in 2006, 2 years after the competing Wide-body aircraft are often highly customised to suit each airline's
B787-9 program was launched. The first A350-900 entered into service with requirements and hence are non-standard in their LOPA layouts. The typical

routes, the A350 and B787 family aircraft have become the mainstay assets in the A350 cabin, the costs could be higher. But at the moment, due to lack of
airline fleets. The composite airframes equipped with fuel efficient engine adequate data points it is difficult to estimate the cost exposure with a

available, the maintenance costs associated with the heavy maintenance is
lower compared with previous generation assets such as A330 or B777. This
reduction in costs can be attributed to optimisation of the maintenance tasks
in the MPD (Maintenance Planning Document) and higher maintenance
intervals for heavy structure checks. Engine reliability and on-wing life
improvements have also contributed to lower unit costs for engine
maintenance compared with previous generation aircraft.

The backlog of 300+ aircraft suggests that the aircraft production cycle will
continue for nearly 5-6 more years depending on the production rate
fluctuations. The passenger demand is yet to fully recover to pre-COVID levels
and this will help in maintaining demand for wide body aircraft in the
foreseeable future. With the older wide body assets becoming economically
unviable to operate as well as demand for freighter conversion increasing due
to lower market values, the future demand will continue to be high for the Disclaimer
A350 and B787 families. Also, most aircraft are relatively new and have
operated lower than expected hours (mostly due to grounding during the The opinions and commentary mentioned is solely that of the author. The data
