Airbus A390: What We Know So Far

Airbus has not launched a new aircraft family since the debut of the Airbus A350 over a decade ago. While the European planemaker is known to be working on an as-yet-unnamed clean-sheet narrowbody design, many have speculated that a new Widebody design is also in the pipeline. This new aircraft family would likely be called the Airbus A390 in line with the manufacturer’s typical naming practices.
