“Madrid is our home and we should have a plane named after it. From the fuselage of this A350 ‘Hello, Madrid’ we will continue to invite customers from around 50 countries we fly to to continue visiting us”, the director said yesterday at the presentation of the new aircraft.
This aircraft has the capacity to 349 passengers and it comes equipped with the three cabins -Business, Premium Tourist and Tourist-.
