Cathay Pacific Airways (CX) has ordered six more AirbusA350-900s for delivery between 2016 and 2017.

The order builds on the airline’s original commitment to the A350-900 for 30 aircraft placed in September 2010 ( ATW Daily News, Sept. 17, 2010 ).

CX announced an additional order for two A350-900s in August last year. The A350s will replace the airline’s A340s and eventually its A330 fleet.
