Specifically, the A350 XWB made its debut at China Air Show 2016 in Zhuhai on November 1-2 for both static display and dynamic flying demonstration.

After demonstration in Chengdu, the MSN002 will fly to Toulouse on November 9.

The A350 XWB has received valuable endorsements from several Chinese customers. China Eastern Airlines ordered 20 A350-900 aircraft in April 2016. Air China ordered 10 A350-900s with its first delivery scheduled in 2017. In September, Sichuan Airlines signed a Letter of Intent for leasing four A350-900s.
