MEP welcomes Airbus A350 agreement

Published on Thursday 6th October 2005

Welcoming today's announcement of the go ahead for the new Airbus A350 passenger aircraft, South West MEP Graham Watson said,

"This is good news for Bristol and also for Britain. It shows the power of working together with our European neighbours. The A350 will be bigger, faster, more fuel efficient and further flying than its competitors. Airbus is already outselling Boeing on world markets and this will further strengthen Europe's position.
