It is also believed that the A350 aircraft will reduce fuel burn by 25 percent.

Alex Cruz, British Airways’ Chairman and CEO said in a statement: “The arrival of our first A350 featuring our new Club Suite is one of the most exciting developments in our £6.5 billion investment programme.

“Each new suite has direct aisle access and comes with a personal door – design features which were incorporated as a direct result of the feedback we’ve had from our customers. We’ve worked hard to ensure every aspect of the Club World experience from the lounges we’ve refreshed, to the new gourmet menus from Do&Co on flights from Heathrow, and the luxurious bedding we’ve introduced from The White Company exudes the very British style and quality customers expect from us.”

The first A350 aircraft will take off from London to Madrid from July to streamline the customer service and help cabin crew acquaint themselves with the plane before starting their long-haul flights in October.
