European aircraft manufacturer Airbus says it has firmed up an order for four A350F freighter aircraft with shipping line and logistics operator CMA CGM Group. The order will bring CMA CGM’s total Airbus fleet to nine aircraft, including four A330-200F and one A330-200 passenger to freighter conversion
The A350F offers a large main deck cargo door and a fuselage length optimised for cargo operations. It has a 109-tonne payload capability three tonnes more than its competition says Airbus and is the only new generation freighter aircraft ready for the enhanced 2027 ICAO CO₂ emissions standards.
