PARIS (Reuters) - United Airlines has ordered 10 extra A350 passengers jets while downgrading its overall order from the largest model, the A350-1000, to the smaller A350-900, Airbus said on Wednesday.
United Airlines will now take 45 A350-900 aircraft instead of 35 of the upcoming A350-100 model, which is now being tested.
United Continental Holdings (N:UAL), the airline's parent group, said separately it had deferred A350 deliveries to late 2022 through 2027 as part of a fleet review.
