Asiana has operated the A380 on the Los Angeles route but will replace the four-engine superjumbo with the smaller and more economical 311-seat A350-900 from March 31. The A350 will be newly used on the San Francisco and Seattle routes from the same date, the company said in a statement.
The A350 is a family of long-range, twin-engine wide-body airliners developed by European aircraft manufacturer Airbus. It currently competes with Boeing's popular 787 and 777 jets. (Yonhap)
