Which is better A380 or A350?

Range and flexibility. Surprisingly, for all its size, the A380 can't go as far as the A350. The A350-1000 can travel more than 1,000 km (540 NM) further than the A380. Singapore Airlines has a special 'ultra-long-range' (ULR) A350-900, which operates on the longest route in the world, from Singapore to New York JFK.

Airbus has changed the design of its A350 flagship jet amid its dispute with Qatar Airways over peeling paint. Airbus has changed the copper foil used on its A350 aircraft, which protects from lightning strikes. In 2021, Qatar Airways sued Airbus over chipped paint that exposes the copper mesh, citing a safety risk.

It has been reported that the A350 is quieter than the B787, primarily due to the automatic Noise Abatement Departure Procedure (NADP) for the optimization of the engine thrust and flight path to reduce noise and the fuel-efficient engine. The other giant airplane, A380, is also known to have a quiet cabin.
