The first Airbus A350-900 for KLM has completed a test flight from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport in France. The aircraft departed shortly after 12:30 PM local time on Friday and flew for just over 90 minutes over southwestern France and the Bay of Biscay before returning to the Airbus facility. The flight is one of the final milestones before the Dutch flag carrier takes delivery of its newest long-haul aircraft.
