He declined to comment on how the 787 incidents might influence the A350's battery design.

They are used for significant functions such as providing the starting and emergency power supply on the A350 aircraft.
The A350, like the 787, will use these advanced batteries to power systems such as its auxilliary power unit.
The Airbus A350 will offer similar improvements in humidity and air pressure.
Critics have said the A350 program -- first launched in 2007 -- was a poorly-designed, hasty response to Boeing's 787.

It added that A350 test flights would continue with the lithium batteries.

CNN: Quick fix for Dreamliner looks less likely, experts say
Airbus says it will not use lithium-ion batteries in its forthcoming A350 plane because of problems that have grounded rival Boeing's 787 Dreamliner.
