Airbus no longer mentions the A350-800 in their press releases

Starting with the press release of the visit to Madrid airport of the A350 last 19/Feb, Airbus has stopped mentioning the A350-800 as a A350 family member.

"The A350 XWB is available in 2 basic passenger versions: the A350-900 seating 315 passenger and the A350-1000 for 369 in a typical two-class layout."

    Same reason why the Kingfisher orders are still on the books even though their license to operate/fly has expired, thus making them incapable of taking any planes.
