French Bee put online on December 18, 2021 between Paris and Reunion Island an A 350-1000 released a few days earlier from the Airbus manufacturing lines. The large capacity device (480 seats) is dedicated to the Indian Ocean line. French Bee has already placed an order for a second aircraft of the same model, which is due to enter its fleet in the coming months. The Dubreuil Aéro group company is banking on the carrying capacity of the A 350-1000, larger than that of the A 350-900s it currently operates, and on the consumption performance of the device to be even more competitive in Paris-Réunion, where it must face currently very aggressive competition from Air France.
