What the record shows
The stretched A350, in service since 2018 with a clean record: zero fatal accidents, zero hull losses. The A350 fleet's only hull loss, JAL 516 (2024), was an A350-900, not the -1000.
Engine programme: Trent XWB-97, one of the cleanest service records of any modern large engine.
