Airbus updates the list-prices for all aircraft; A350-900´s price is 295 million $ and A350-1000´s price is 340 million $, more expensive than their competitors.

As usual, Airbus has updated the list prices of its aircraft effective from 1st of January 2014.

Airbus has increased the average list prices of its aircraft by 2.6% across the product line as per  Airbus’ standard escalation formula over the January/2013 to January/2014 period.

“Our new 2014 pricing reaffirms the unbeatable value of Airbus’ modern, fuel-efficient aircraft family,” said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers. “We see continuing strong demand in all aircraft size categories as our reliable, efficient product line enables customers to grow their businesses profitably as well as pleasing passengers who will always favour the most comfortable cabin.”

Boeing updated the list prices last September/2013.

Price, while important, is only part of the equation, given that the airlines will get substantial discounts off the list price. Timing may prove to be the deciding factor in many negotiations.
