British Airways commenced the first North American long-haul service of its new A350 aircraft from Toronto today, following extensive trials and the launch of its first long-haul service to Dubai last month.

Gerard McEvoy, vice president, sales, North America, said: “Were thrilled to be launching our new A350 from Toronto, a city weve flown to and from for nearly 60 years.”

Since British Airways took delivery earlier this year, the A350 has flown over 15,400 miles between London Heathrow and Madrid, completing 40 take-offs and landings to put the aircraft through its paces, test all aspects of its technical performance and to further familiarise the airlines crew with the service they will deliver.

In addition to the short haul flying, the airline has also simulated a long-haul flight on the ground at London Heathrow.
