Air Europa signs MoU for up to 40 Airbus A350-900s at Dubai Airshow 2025

Air Europa has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airbus for up to 40 A350-900 aircraft, marking a major step in the Spanish carrier’s long-haul fleet renewal. The agreement was announced on November 18, 2025, during the Dubai Airshow 2025. 

The airline currently operates a long-haul fleet centered on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and serves a network heavily focused on Latin America, one of the most competitive long-haul markets in Europe.  

The introduction of the A350-900 is expected to accelerate the replacement of older widebodies and strengthen Air Europa’s position on transatlantic routes, where demand remains strong. 

The aircraft range, lower fuel burn, and cabin features were highlighted as central to Air Europa’s long-term network strategy. 

Air Europa President Juan Jose Hidalgo said the order represents a strategic milestone for the airline. He described the A350-900 as a game-changer for Latin American destinations, highlighting its passenger comfort, operational performance, and economic benefits. 

Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, Airbus EVP Sales for Commercial Aircraft, said Airbus is proud to welcome Air Europa to the A350 operator base. He called the agreement a strong endorsement of the A350 platform and said Airbus will support Air Europa’s growth as it prepares for future long-haul expansion. 

The delivery timeline for the aircraft was not disclosed.
