> The first aircraft, which carries 20,000 litres of fuel and can seat 238 passengers

Pretty sure a zero is missing right? Wikipedia says normal A350 capacity is ~150k litres if I’m looking at the right thing.

200k litres means almost 1k per person, literally a ton of fuel.

That's the regular A350-1000. This is the A350-1000ULR, which has an additional 20,600 L rear tank.

Looks like they updated the article to say 20,000 litres of additional fuel, it wasn’t like that before as what I posted above was a copy paste.

Edit: it actually says at the bottom:

  (This story has been refiled to add the dropped word 'additional' in paragraph 8)
