range is not the issue - If an A330-200 can make the distance then the A350-1000ULR can.

A 330-200 can only make the distance empty..
Much as the test Dreamliner flights a few years ago made the distance with 10-20 pax onboard.

Unfortunately empty aircraft generally don't make money.

This test 350 aircraft is filled with water pipes that can mimic a full load, though unclear if they were doing that fully for this first long haul test.
