Airbus secures 10 A350 orders in September, including 2 ACJ350 private jets
October 9, 2025
Airbus reported 73 aircraft deliveries in September, along with 10 new orders for the A350-900. Airbus’s total deliveries for the first nine months of 2025 stand at 507 aircraft to 79 customers.
According to the manufacturer’s Orders and Deliveries update, eight A350s were sold to an undisclosed commercial customer, while two were purchased by private clients — transactions listed under “Private Customer” in Airbus’s records. These are understood to be destined for Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) completions.
Airbus Easyfit outfitting simplifies VIP completions
The two A350s ordered for private use will likely be configured as ACJ350s, a variant designed to deliver the performance of a commercial airliner with the luxury of a bespoke flying residence. The ACJ350-900 version offers 270 m² of cabin space and can fly 25 passengers up to 10,800 nautical miles (20,000 km) or 22 hours nonstop.
Airbus first introduced the ACJ350 XWB in 2016 with its Easyfit outfitting system, a design innovation that pre-installs hundreds of predefined attachment points into the airframe’s carbon-fibre fuselage. This allows outfitters to mount walls, furnishings, and systems without the structural modifications that previously extended VIP completion timelines.
“Widebodies such as the ACJ350 offer the equivalent of several houses of floorspace, so creating cabins that meet demanding certification rules can be challenging, especially when they are installed within a fuselage made of new materials such as carbonfibre,” the planemaker explained in its Easyfit announcement in 2016.
Airbus says the Easyfit approach reduces cost and complexity of cabin installation for completion centres while allowing greater creative freedom for designers.
Cabin concepts showcase the A350’s potential
Only a few ACJ350s have been delivered to date, but a range of cabin concepts unveiled by Airbus and its completions partners show what the platform can offer to private owners, heads of state, and corporate operators.
Jet Aviation Basel’s ACJ350 concept — developed in collaboration with Advanced Computer Art (ACA)—first showcased at EBACE in 2016. It envisions a multi-zone interior that combines a dining and social lounge, a private suite with an en-suite bathroom, and wellness features such as a walk-in shower and heated towel rails. The concept blends residential materials with aviation-grade lighting and electrochromic window systems.
M&R Associates Design took a minimalist approach to the A350 with its cabin design, emphasising open spaces, neutral tones, and integrated indirect lighting. Their renderings reveal a calm, residential atmosphere with sculpted surfaces and concealed storage. The design appeals to owners who prefer discretion over opulence.
Lufthansa Technik developed a Welcome Home concept for the ACJ350. Its modern elegance and makes the most of the cabin’s natural light neutral tones and reflective surfaces. The design’s focus is on creating a home environment at 35,000 feet, including flexible zones to enjoy privacy or valuable family time, with dedicated health and well-being facilities.
Airbus has also proposed a “Harmony” layout for its widebody corporate jets, including the A350 platform. The design incorporates a master suite, lounge, conference area, guest rooms, and a dedicated crew zone, all arranged in a layout that strikes a balance between privacy and sociability.
For Airbus, the September results affirm not only continued confidence in the A350 family from airlines but also new opportunities in the private and government sectors.
