Following the recent EASA Type Certification, the Qatar Airways A350-900 is now entering into its final stage of production during which Airbus and the airline teams are actively working together in order to ensure a seamless hand-over process. The remaining steps up to delivery comprise notably the cabin completion as well as ground and flight tests.

The MSN006 is now “ready to be transferred to the flight-test team,” Evrard said. Airbus is working on familiarizing Qatar Airways with the aircraft. Evard said that will require “a number of flights,” but it is difficult to predict just how many flights or hours. But he said, “If I were a golf player, I would say we are on the green.”
