On September 30th, the Airbus A350 XWB received Type Certification from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). What better way to celebrate than to fly five Airbus A350-900 in formations? We can’t think of a better way. Luckily for us there were photos and video (the video is found lower in the story) for us to enjoy!

“Receiving the A350-900 Type Certification from EASA is a great achievement for Airbus and for all our partners who have contributed to designing, building and certificating this fantastic, new generation aircraft. The A350-900 is now ready to fly from the nest and be enjoyed by airlines and passengers,” said Fabrice Brégier, Airbus President and CEO. “The A350 XWB embodies many extra innovative technologies which make all the difference in passenger comfort and airline efficiency.”

Airbus’ fleet of five test A350s have accumulated over 2600 flight hours. One of the next steps is getting Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification, which Airbus is hoping will follow shortly.
